Australia is by far and away the most heavily taxed country in the world when it comes to insurance. For example, residents in California, which has the highest incidence of fire in the world pay 2.4% tax. In Rural Victoria it is over 135.95%. for business. That is 68 TIMES MORE!

It is a completely inappropriate and unjust method of taxation to fund the fire and civil defence authorities. The entire community benefits and so it is only reasonable that we all pay equitably.
