Treasurer Kim Wells has today refused to rule out that some Victorian families may be worse off as a result of the Baillieu Government’s proposed fire services property tax that will be introduced soon.
Appearing before the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee, the
Treasurer was asked to provide a guarantee that no Victorian currently
paying the fire services levy would pay more under the proposed change.
Parliamentary Secretary Assisting the Shadow Minister for Rural and
Regional Development Ms Pulford said the Treasurer categorically refused
to give such an undertaking.
“This admission will send a chill down the spine of thousands of
Victorians hoping to be reassured that the Government’s changes won’t
just be used as an excuse to gauge even more money from families
struggling to meet cost of living pressures,” Ms Pulford said.
