Solidarity with all the firefighters and farmers who attended the rallies in Melbourne, Morwell, Geelong, Mildura and elsewhere in #Victoria today. The government's new "Emergency Services and Volunteers levy" unfairly targets #farmers and people in regional areas, and isn't to fund NEW #emergency services - it's to cover the black hole in the #budget under the guise of #firefighters and #volunteers and is offensive to everyone for that.

Radio read out a text this morning being a "bit" snippy about fuel costs for CFA trucks to get to Melbourne for the protest today & something finally gelled:

An open letter to our local (Labor) member of parliament. Fair's fair in case she hadn't worked it out
