So i welcome the VIC govt budget: clawing back taxes from big business and big property concerns. They need to pay from the profits they have been creaming off.

Food corporations, fuel companies , rental market and many airlines have gouged and hiked prices. You can bet they won't drop them - ever.

Put it this way: they claimed "hardship after covid" and increased overheads & losses. So an increase to cover those losses is understandable. But when they make "BiggerThanEver" profits (for shareholders) that means they are covering overheads/losses AND making money out of us at a disproportionate rate. Raking it in at our expense. Pushing prices up way over and above what they need. Sheer and utter greed.

Nobody begrudges business covering costs.
Nobody begrudges them a profit margin.
But BLEEDING US CONSUMERS DRY for the good of shareholders and CEO bonuses???

I want them taxed. So yes. Good budget.
