PREMIER VOWS TO PUSH ON
WITH NEW TAX
Lynne Pickering wrote: How dare this person. These guys and girls she is going to tax so high are the same ones who voluntarily go out and fight fires as volunteers. They are members of the cfa, they often take their own equipment to fires. It’s also dangerous fighting fires. She is an absolute disgrace. As a Bendigo girl she should know better. Farmers are doing it tough as it is and this woman doesn’t care. It’s all about who can we tax next.

Victoria Talbot wrote: The council need to have more common sense.
Our property is 2 titles, yes one in my dads name and one in mine and my partners. I’m unable to put a small unit on my dads title, because it’s an older one and not 7 star energy rating (the red tape is unbelievable) but I can move it 20m onto our title, because we are building a house and have a building permit.
