The Allan Labor Government is collecting record amounts from your taxes while your fire service is on life support. Bellarine firefighters are standing up – because your safety should come first.

THE FACTS YOUR LOCAL LABOR MP
DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW:

• New fire stations promised years ago in rapid growth areas still haven’t been built

• 66% of Victoria’s fire trucks are past their service life

• The fire service tax you pay has nearly doubled while firefighting budgets were cut by $165 million

• Labor spent $100 million of fire service money on consultants and lawyers – enough to buy 100 new trucks

• Labor spent another $16 million to attack firefighters’ safe working conditions

• Firefighters and corporate staff have been on the same pay since 2021 while Labor MPs and Fire Rescue Victoria executives have had 5 payrises
