Victorians are being asked to dig deeper than ever, paying twice as much through the Emergency Services Tax — yet somehow, we’re getting less in return.
Fire Rescue Victoria’s latest restructure merges Community Safety and Firefighter Training — two vital portfolios — into one. What was once 100% focus on keeping Victorians safe has now been cut in half.
Let’s be clear: this is a cost-cutting move, not a community-safety improvement.
Victorians are paying more for a service that’s being stretched thinner, while the Allan Government calls it “efficiency.” But when it comes to safety and emergency response, half the focus means double the risk.
We all deserve to know where our money is going — and why the communities footing the bill are seeing their safety downgraded.
This isn’t just about firefighters. It’s about every Victorian who relies on a fast, well-trained, fully prepared emergency response when disaster strikes.
We’re paying more.
We’re getting less.
And it’s putting Victoria at risk.
We stand for accountability, transparency, and real community safety — not cuts disguised as savings
ALLAN GOVERNMENT SLASHES, VICTORIA BURNS!
