Reject new taxes

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council that the new taxes imposed in the State Budget will have a detrimental effect on the business community and families already struggling with the cost of inflation.

Debt levels in Victoria are unsustainable and will cause enormous damage for future generations to pay. The new taxes will ensure that companies will look to other states with lower taxes to run their businesses.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council reject the new taxes added in the State Budget.
