Victorians are saying “not in our name”.
Farmers, Firefighters and landowners feed, protect and participate in funding the Fire Services levy along with Victorians.
We’ve been used as human shields for the Allan Government’s $5 billion tax grab that hits everyone.
- Farm taxes tripled
- Billions ripped from regions for tunnels and blowouts
- Homeowners tax doubled
- Small business even more
- Everyone will pay at the checkout when they buy milk, meat, fruit and veg
- Renters will pay when landlords pass it on.
- Small business will pass it on or they’ll hit the wall

BALLARAT | UFU POLITICAL ACTION CAMPAIGN
Victorians are being forced to pay up to twice as much tax, yet Fire Rescue Victoria faces a $114 million funding cut.
That’s enough money to replace more than 100 fire trucks — at a time when over 64% of Victoria’s fire fleet is already beyond its service life, just months out from bushfire season.
This is not reform. It’s reckless.

The Allan Government tried to triple the emergency services tax on farmers — and sparked a wave of anger across Victoria.
Rupanyup grain grower Andrew Weidemann says it “lit the fuse” that united 27 farmer groups, CFA volunteers, and outdoor communities.

Jacinta Allan is sacrificing our local businesses for a tax that doesn’t even benefit our emergency services?
Jacinta Allan’s unfair Emergency Services Tax is hitting every Victorian.
Today’s announcement is a clear acknowledgment that the Government got it wrong.
This tax is fundamentally flawed, and Victorians deserve better.
They are clearly trying to avoid voters rejecting them by deferring it for some until after the election. A disgusting political Act.
It is time for the Government to scrap the tax entirely and establish a full public inquiry into its impact on households, businesses, and communities across our state.

Alarming forecast for Victoria ahead of the coming summer bushfire season
While firefighters prepare to battle a high-risk bushfire season with depleted capacity and failing equipment, Jacinta Allan’s government has collected $600 million through the Emergency Services and Volunteer Fund—a levy introduced in their name—yet frontline agencies have seen no meaningful improvement in equipment or safety. Firefighters across Victoria are asking the same question: Where has this money gone?
