On Sunday in Bendigo, UFU members, CFA volunteers, farmers and the Across Victoria Alliance came together as one. Firefighters and community members stood shoulder to shoulder, speaking with a single, united voice about what’s happening across our state.
The message shared throughout the rally was clear:
Scrap the Tax. Scrap this Government.
People talked openly about the pressure on Victorian families, farmers and regional communities — paying more while firefighters are being left behind. What really stood out was the unity on the ground: when career and volunteer firefighters stand together with farmers and locals, governments are forced to listen.
This is what solidarity looks like. This is what community sounds like.
United for our communities. United for change.
