Don’t really know much about politics there is Australia, but good luck on getting this proposal stopped...It does sound like something the freaking liberals here would do....

seven professional firefighters would need to be on a fireground before any professional firefighters would begin fighting the fires

Are these people insane? I had no idea the unions in Australia were similar to the ones in the US.

Thank you for being a first responder, and WATCH YOUR BACK!

Well hell then, It have to be Costa Rica if the Hillary
bitch gets elected

Jan Garrett is one of those rare people in public life with character and integrity.

She could have sold out volunteer firefighters to advance her career but decided to give up her office over a deal that shafted them.

For me, that’s more important than her politics. If you don’t have the courage of your convictions, nothing else matters.

Did that sacrifice include never running for any other office? I don’t know about your politicians, but here in the states, ours are corrupt to the bone and ya can’t believe a word coming out of their mouths.

So basically Andrews and his stooges do not give a damn about folks
in the countryside since they are urban rodents.

My unlearned opinion of Victoria is a California with less people. Too bad you can’t split the state up and escape from the Melbourne metroplois.

It's my understanding that bushfires are a major problem in parts of Australia just as they are in parts of our,and Canada's,west.If that's true it's not difficult to imagine politicians of all stripes taking a logical position on the best ways to deal with them.

Although you never can tell when speaking of union bosses.
