Box of Cow Manure Dropped at Premier's Office
- On Tuesday, a farmer delivered a gift-wrapped box of cow manure to Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan's parliamentary office during a protest against the fire services levy.
- The manure dumping was triggered by anger over the government's expanded emergency services levy, which increases taxes, especially for farmers, and has drawn widespread protests.
- Opposition figures, including Liberal MP Bev McArthur, were present near the delivery, although Brad Battin denied prior knowledge and did not condemn the act, prompting allegations of tacit support.
- The levy will raise an additional $2.1 billion over three years by increasing rates on property capital improved value, with farmers’ rates rising from 28.7 to 71.8 cents per $1000 CIV, fueling considerable discontent.
- Premier Allan condemned the stunt as disgraceful, called for investigations into involved MPs, and the event highlights ongoing tensions over tax policy ahead of the November 2026 state election.
