Never thought I'd see the day when I'd ever accuse a politician of hypocrisy.
PREMIER John Brumby said the bank’s decision to raise rates above the RBA hike was “appalling” and would place unnecessary pressure on Victorian businesses and homeowners.
“This is nothing more than unmitigated greed,” Mr Brumby said.
“I am utterly dismayed at this sort of mercenary behaviour by the banking sector.”
Mmmm. Surely not this non mercenary, outraged friend of the home buyer, John Brumby!
STRUGGLING home buyers in Victoria have been slugged more than $3.6 billion by John Brumby’s Labor Government in just 12 months as his tax take on property soars.
Figures released yesterday reveal the stamp duty increased by $800 million last year.
When Labor took power 11 years ago the annual tax was worth $1 billion.
