Thousands of great people travelled to Parliament today to oppose the Government’s new tax.
Here’s what I had to say to them.

Pat Millear, CFA group officer, said the levy would impact farmers struggling with cost of living pressures. "It's the state government's choice to leave the state unprotected - it's not ours".

I am proud of my family’s service to the #CFA and the countless hours spent volunteering their time. From CFA lieutenants to captains, to DGOs and board members. The fire levy is a complete insult to every volunteer in Victoria. Farmers are already hurting! #hungouttodry

CFA Volunteers are on there way to Parliament to send a message to @JacintaAllanMP - Scrap the Tax - you can’t increase taxes on the very people who protect the community. They are not happy.

Anyone else have a problem with the Indian water boys fielding the ball when a boundary is hit? Surely illegal? @FoxCricket @7Cricket @RickyPonting @bowlologist

For the 1000 people who downed tools when the 🐑 live export panel came to regional WA, consider that 1/2 the job done. Now is time to fill in a submission. Make sure that the Federal Gov is left in no doubt of the ramifications this will have to your businesses & communities.

Picking out these boys gives me a real thrill.. combination of elite data, quality wool all on cracking structures..
How good are ASBVs and genomics.. amazing what’s achievable now

Top 14 ram lambs from 22 drop heading to the entire drop of 600 stud ewe lambs.
Cutting generational interval & getting lambs from these at 15months
The combination of elite data & genomics makes decision making on joining these rams easy!
