Questions Without Notice and Ministers Statements
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:11): My question is to the Premier. Danny is a farmer from Clunes. He is facing a deepening drought, falling stock prices and now a $4000 increase in the bill he must pay under Labor’s emergency services tax. Why must Danny and millions of Victorians like him pay the price because Labor cannot manage money?
Labor’s new tax will slug every home owner in the state, every renter, every business owner and every farmer extra on what they pay now. The tax is opposed by farmers, volunteers, every council in the state and career firefighters, among others. Why won’t the government listen to Victorians and scrap this tax?
