The Mildura Rural City Council has floated as many as 14 possible future rating proposals for revenue in future, one of which would hike farmers' council rates to help deliver rate relief to those living in Mildura. The state MP Jade Benham encouraged ratepayers to have their say on the proposals, and reflected on Labor premier Daniel Andrews clocking 3,000 days in office, earning him the right to a bronze statue at the state administration centre under a Kennett-era policy commitment that has immortalised former premiers.
