TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the
attention of the House the breaking of an election commitment of “no new
taxes” by the Beattie’s Government through its introduction of the unfair
and inequitable compulsory ambulance levy.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to amend the compulsory
ambulance scheme to ensure that residents of Queensland pay the ambulance
levy only once, irrespective of whether they run a small business,
farming enterprise or provide accommodation services.
