‘Absolute joke’: Farmer fires up over Jacinta Allan’s CFA volunteer claim
Fifth generation farmer Prue says Jacinta Allan’s claim that CFA volunteers are “exempt” from the fire services levy is an “absolute joke”.
Prue spoke to Jacqui Felgate on 3AW Drive last week about the levy, and returned this Thursday to make further comments after penning a letter to Treasurer Jaclyn Symes and getting a reply.
Each CFA member receives one rate exemption, and Prue said it’s not even “a drop in the ocean” as most farmers receive over 10 rate notices.
Press PLAY to listen to her strong comments
“Your exemption isn’t worth the paper it’s written on,” she said on 3AW Drive.
