Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund
Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (13:13): Lastly, we are coming into fire season, and now that the emergency services levy is on our rates notice and Victorians are paying those exorbitant levies, I have so many CFA and SES members in my area that the government actually now needs to invest in this. We are coming into a fire season. We have appliances that are not up to scratch, and we have equipment that is not up to scratch. They brought the tax in in the name of supporting the CFA and the SES, so my suggestion to the government is: put your money where your mouth is and fix the problems.
