NINE in 10 farmers say they feel ignored and disrespected by the Allan Labor government.
That frustration was on full display when farmers and other regional Victorians rolled into Ballarat with their tractors, trucks and united voices – calling on Labor to listen.
It’s little wonder farmers and regional Victorians feel betrayed.
Labor has silenced regional voices by fast-tracking renewable projects without proper consultation, stripped away the right to appeal government decisions and now threaten hardworking farmers with massive fines for protecting their own private land.
This is another kick in the guts, just as Labor’s emergency services tax is landing in mailboxes.
Labor’s 63rd new or increased tax comes at a time when household budgets are at breaking point.
Regional Victorians deserve better. The Nationals will stand up for you.
Our plan is clear:
Lower cost of living by scrapping five Labor taxes – including the emergency services tax.
Restore regional voices on renewable energy projects.
Protect homes with a 2km buffer from wind turbines.
Defend land rights by repealing Labor’s land access laws.
