Petition against the EI Levy

Hi Everyone,

City racehorse owners have been paid $65 per day to keep their horses in work – more has been paid to city racehorse trainers to “keep their businesses viable”.
Owners who sent mares to Hunter Valley studs will receive thousands of dollars of support each, from the Govt – because their mares were unable to move. Nobody else is offered this support.
And the rest of the horse industry has been left at a standstill with little or no support.
The Govt is planning a tax on each and every horse and pony registration to recoup the support provided.
Yes, that means a pony with four registrations will pay four times the amount that a thoroughbred will pay - who may have received over $10,000 in assistance to keep racing.
If you think this is unfair then you must go to the petition page below and put forward your point of view. Please tell any one else who might object to this ignorant and arbitrary approach.

Cheers
