More on the FSL from Dr Sykes.. Hope Mr Brumby is listening to the people

29 July 2009 ASSEMBLY


Insurance: fire services levy

To the Legislative Assembly of Victoria:
The petition of residents of Victoria draws to the attention of the house the inequitable nature of the current fire services levy (FSL) on house, property and business insurance and points out to the house that everyone who benefits from fire services should contribute to its funding not just those who take out insurance whose premiums are effectively doubled by the FSL and associated taxes.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria investigate and implement a fairer model of funding fire services.
By Dr SYKES (Benalla) (56 signatures).
