Thank you to all of our amazing local volunteers for their commitment and hard work every day.
Our local CFA brigades are rightfully concerned about some of the decisions the Labor Government has made when it comes to protecting and supporting our volunteer firefighters.
We’ve witnessed disastrous decisions by this government regarding fire management in recent times: a lack of planned burns, the closure of the sustainable native timber industry, failure to replace aging vehicles, and the loss of more than 6500 operational CFA volunteers.
Despite our CFA brigades’ proud history and their vital role in regional towns, this government is hellbent on destroying them and tarnishing their reputation.
The Labor Government’s lack of support is a death by a thousand cuts to our selfless volunteer firefighters, failing those who risk their lives to protect our regional communities.
The Allan Labor Government has demonstrated an inability to manage projects, finances, and the safe and effective management of our CFA brigades – a terrifying display of incompetence towards those who live in bushfire-prone regions.
I would love to hear from local volunteers about your experience on the job so that I can advocate for the improvements needed to support your vital work.
