Land tax
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:40): My office has been flooded with complaints around the land tax bills that have been mailed out recently. The Labor government for Melbourne have run out of money, and now they want yours – and nobody is safe. Pensioners and young families have been affected across the board as the cost-of-living crisis is biting thousands of families in the Ovens Valley. The Victorian Labor government for Melbourne are showing us just how out of touch they are with working families. But the pain will continue, with Premier Allan refusing to back down on a $50 billion tunnel that only 20 per cent of Victorians will ever use. I encourage families and pensioners who have been hit with this new tax to contact our office in Wangaratta to see if there is assistance that we can provide.
