THE Leader of the Victorian Liberal Party, Jess Wilson, was in Hastings on Sunday morning (17 May) in support of the preselected Liberal candidate for the seat of Hastings, Frank Schiefler.
Doing a press conference at Harbourside Cafe at Hastings Marina, Wilson announced an elected Liberal government in November would lift the threshold for businesses paying payroll tax from $1m to $1.2m, and lift the Land Tax threshold from $50,000 up to $300,000.
Wilson also decried the shuttering of police stations and record levels of crime, and said her government would recruit 3000 new police officers.
Wilson and Schiefler then hit the street to meet voters and attended a Somerville Eagles match in the afternoon.
