Tom Elliott grills Jacinta Allan after widespread protests on emergency services levy
Tom Elliott has questioned Premier Jacinta Allan on whether she was surprised by size of yesterday’s protest at Parliament House, and subsequent protests around Victoria in relation to the emergency services levy.
The 3AW Mornings host thinks the number of CFA volunteers will “drop dramatically” and went back-and-forth with the Premier on whether she got the message sent by the protesters.
“You’re asking the farmers who need the support to pay more, and in the middle of a drought when they can’t afford it!” Elliott said.

“We’re going to continue to support our emergency services because when times are tough they support us,” Ms Allan said.
The Premier was also questioned on Victoria’s debt levels and credit rating, funding for the Suburban Rail Loop and delays on Myki upgrades and the machete ban.
