Taxed Out member Greg Heffernan has ploughed this statement onto the side of Bald Hill, part of his Beveridge farm. The letters are approximately 60 metres high and clearly visible from the Hume Freeway as well as from passing aeroplanes. Greg's property is affected by the GAIC tax and the proposed Outer Metropolitan Ring Road. Greg says he hopes Labor MPs can read because they certainly don't listen!

Its pretty easy for visitors to Melbourne to tell that the State Labor Government is ripping off farmers and Landowners.

I think even Premier Brumby will be able to read the writing on this wall, as we head into elections.

"Jones and Joneser"

There once was a workers’ party
To look after those who laboured
And whose interests, by the ruling class
Were almost never favoured

The captains of industry made their fortunes
Out of a convenient supply
Of penniless men who could be worked to death
And left to rot where they happened to lie

But deep down, these poor people knew
That something was deeply wrong
In a society so greatly weighted in favour
Of the ruthless, the rich and the strong

So they formed a labourers’ party
And from humble beginnings
Gradually gained political influence
And clocked up electoral winnings

After little more than a hundred years
They stood at the top of the tree
Their party was ruling the roost
In almost every state and territory

The once powerless, penniless workers
Were even on the chummiest of terms
With their former oppressors and exploiters –
The captains’ respect had been earned!

And the labourers were so flattered
By the very thought of that
That it didn’t seem at all wrong
To occasionally scratch the captains’ backs

“A license to dig up brown coal?
A decision to build our ring road on grassland?
Even money to keep your smelting plant running
Is something we feel that we can stand”

Meanwhile, from small beginnings
A rumble began to emerge
From the labourers whose interests the labourers’ party
Had for a long time served

Weren’t they getting too friendly with the enemy?
The close personal friends of Mr Jones?
The Mr Jones who, after years of terror
They had unanimously overthrown?

Their leader, Mr Labourer, exploded with rage
And went on the attack:
“Don’t you dare criticise us, you ingrates
Do you want Mr Jones to come back?”

The labourers quaked in their boots
And apologised profusely
For their fear of Mr Jones
Was something they shared absolutely

But murmurs were soon heard again
When Mr Labourer took action
To make it easier to fine and jail labourers
If they dared protest against the captains

Wasn’t Mr Labourer on their side?
Wasn’t he there to protect them all
From people like Mr Jones, and the captains
Who wished, unfettered, to rule?

“Get outta here, yer plebs.”
Was Mr Labourer’s reply
“Those differences have now been sorted out
Me and Jonesey see eye to eye”

And flabbergasted, and scratching their heads
The labourers straggled home
At a loss to understand how Mr Labourer
Had become Joneser than Mr Jones
