Mortlake farmer and CFA volunteer, John Morrison, spoke to Ross and Russ about how the community is feeling in response to the expanded emergency services tax.

Mr Morrison said it’s a “kick in the guts” for the volunteers who give up so much to keep everyone safe. 

“You don’t often get people mobilising, coming to Melbourne, giving up a day of their time, it shows how disgusted we are,” he said on 3AW Breakfast.
