THE emergency services tax is the Labor Government’s latest sneaky cash grab and The Nationals will continue to fight it.
What better way of joining us in the fight than sending a message directly to the Treasurer, Jaclyn Symes?
You can do just that at the website scrapthetax.com.au.
The website is the cornerstone of our Scrap The Tax campaign aimed at killing off the desperately unfair emergency services tax before its planned introduction on July 1.
The tax hits households and businesses, with farmers copping a 189 per cent rise on the amount paid under the former fire services levy.
There is no guarantee the extra money will go to the frontline emergency workers who deserve it. It will be used to prop up back room city staff.
Labor can’t manage money and regional Victorians are paying the price.
A vote on the emergency services tax has been deferred and we must strike now before another vote next month.
Let’s send a message to the Treasurer now and scrap the tax.
Danny O’Brien
Leader of The Nationals
