Rural communities are the backbone of this state.
00:04
The farmers are the backbone, the people that live in the shops, the people that run the supermarkets,
00:10
and the butchers, the schools, all those sorts, the bus drivers, they are the backbone of the rural community.
00:17
And the backbone of the rural community feeds those losers in Melbourne who think they can walk all over the top of us.
00:24
So we fight. We fight. We keep going. We do not forgive up the cause.
00:30
We drive out that gate with a clear vision that we're going to keep going until at least the next election.
00:35
We will vote them out and we'll put in a party that's going to support us, look after us and respect us.
00:54
We're fighting the Ellen Labor government tax that's going to tax farmers big time.
01:08
Then they go out and fight the fires.
01:11
So we're just doing a big protest to show that we care for the farmers.
01:18
It affects everyone. So every household has got to pay this dirty tax for their waste of money.
01:29
They need to do it fair enough for the tax, but they're not to overtax farmers that actually go out and fight the fires.
01:37
They need to do it.
01:52
Well, I got it for the thousand dollars to death.
01:56
I don't get it, but I don't it.
