We were promised a new fire station six years ago. The Liberal National Government has failed to deliver - for the community and for the firefighters being overstretched. #FixOurFireService
You couldn’t make this up. On 7NEWS Sydney tonight: the NSW RFS aircraft (remember the air tanker and the old Blackhawks?) can’t carry firefighters this fire season. Is the silver lining that we don’t have as many firefighters around to carry? 🛫💺❓🛬🚁 #firefightersputoutfires
Hey ABC The Drum I’m a firefighter of 20 years & it’s plain as day there’s been a cut to our budget-it’s in Gladys Berejiklian’s own budget papers. We’ve got fewer firefighters now than we did in 2011 and less money than we need to fight fires. Happy to chat any time about our jobs & budget
At the same time Fire and Rescue NSW is over 400 firefighters short and suffering budget cuts from @DavidElliottMP and the State Government.
Libs/Nats failed NSW Firefighters yet again,Presumptive Rights to Workers Comp is only for FF after 27th Sept 2018, so what happens to those diagnosed before 27th? Shades of 2012. Fire Brigade Employees' Union Unions NSW NSW RFS Fire and Rescue NSW
With Liesl Tesch and Guy Zangari KHS and our mighty members and Committee at Parliament, talking firefighter cancer.
Arrived NSW Legislative Assembly to see Guy Zangari KHS 2nd read a firefighter cancer Bill he introduced almost 12 months ago and Victor Dominello & Hon. Troy Grant are saying they’ve consulted me about a Bill I’ve never seen. Surreal. Glad they want to look after us-so let’s talk. I’m free guys #fb
NSW Libs/Nats fight each other, Fire and Rescue NSW NSW RFS fight fires, NSW Labor will always fight for our hardworking firefighters #NSWPol Fire Brigade Employees' Union
Just spoke to ABC Sydney about firefighter cancer & the journalist had more detail on what the Coalition is planning to do than the firefighters who it will cover. Legislation written in 4 days??? I was asked what I wanted to say to Hon. Troy Grant: Pick up the phone. Mate.
According to the Liberal Government quoted on @7news tonight Fire and Rescue NSW has no budget cuts and has ‘money to burn’. Hon. Troy Grant would you like to to confirm that FRNSW has no Labour Expense Cap or efficiency dividend? Are we frontline yet?
