BALING twine has been repurposed to string up signs around Bridgewater protesting State and Federal Government policies.
The protest placards appeared overnight Sunday on the Calder Highway.
Signs with messages scrawled on both sides were placed on a town entrance sign near the recreation reserve and between Bridgewater and Inglewood.
Messages expressed the writer’s discontent with Premier Jacinta Allan, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, taking aim at renewable energy policies and the state of Victoria’s roads.
The latest roadside protests follow farmers hanging their CFA yellow overalls on fences across the Loddon in protest at the State Government’s new emergency services tax that they say will leave them with a bill $50,000 up on the old fire services levy.
Loddon farmers and CFA volunteers also made up protest signs for the anti-tax rally in Bendigo last month attended by more than 1000 people.
