Now that I'm screwed over, guess where I'm placing my vote. My turn to make someone else feel my pain.

Taxed Out members were in Parliament today to witness the parliament approve the Urban Growth Boundary expansion. Some members will be pleased and others will be disappointed.

All agree however that the insidious GAIC tax should be levied when land is developed rather than sold. You can expect further announcements on this issue in coming weeks.

Now the boundary has moved all landowners in the UGB will have a Land Tax Notice registered on their title, even those under 2.023 who thought they were totally exempt.

I urge you to help yourself and your neighbours by volunteering to assist in the McEwen pre polling that starts next week. Contact your committee to find out what you can do.

Over 12 months ago Julia Gillard's Office was asked to help represent those in her electorate that are caught up in the GAIC Tax. A request for a meeting with Taxed Out was refused despite many residents in Melton, Tarneit and Rockbank living in her electorate. Now she wants help from you on election day.

You can send a message to both State and Federal Labor by helping members of Taxed Out who live in the marginal seat of McEwen.

No government should get away with or stand by and allow land owners to be dispossessed of their property rights.

If it happens here in Victoria it will soon spread. All Australian property owners should be concerned.

Volunteer and make a difference.

Madden & the Labor govt have definitely lost their connection to the general public, like Alice they have lost touch with reality, hell bent on creating their own fantasy world, Madden is the fat slug smoking on his hookah, Brumby smiling Cheshire cat that disappears when asked a question. Time to bring in Bailleu, the White Queen who will request "Off with his head!"
This state can no longer afford to carry this farce they call a government.

“The Greens Political Party has not achieved a single thing while holding the balance of power in the Upper House for the last four years."

What a crock from Madden's media release. What about the Select Committee on Train Services, which investigated why LABOR's train system crashed in January 2009? As of last Tuesday's farce, it's looking even more necessary...
