Victorian Government considering political suicide

  • REVEALED: HOUSEHOLDS face a radical $50 garbage tax under plans to make Victoria a green mecca.

    The State Government is quietly surveying voters to gauge how much they would be prepared to pay for greener waste disposal.

What a stupid idea. The State Government is raising the cost of water and is imposing Smart Meters upon us - which we have to pay for in advance - and now they propose a $50 levy on garbage collection. That's what we pay council rates for, isn't it?. In rural councils like Wangaratta, we already pay a surcharge of over $200 per annum to have a garbage collection. Adopting this proposal is political suicide.
