About the episode
Founder of Blaze Aid and Kilmore farmer Kevin Butler heads back to Melbourne for the second protest in a week against the Emergency Services and Volunteer Fund rally. One of the rally’s organisers and regular contributor Andrew Weidemann has spent the last 72 hours putting pressure on the coalition to step up. He says it needs to start acting now, ahead of next year’s state election. So the big question is, if this $2 billion dollars the levy is meant to raise is being taken from the pockets of ratepayers and not from consolidated revenue. Where will that money go? That’s what Victorian Farmers Federation President Brett Hosking would like to know. Leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria Brad Battin is standing alongside firefighters on the steps of Parliament, today he has given a commitment to repeal the legislation should he win government next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
