Too Little Too Late - The Firey's Lament

Wednesday, 8 January 2020 - 8:30am to 9:00am
NSW Fire Fighters 2020 Twitter

The fires across NSW were predicted by scientists and fire fighters. We speak to Leighton Drury secretary of the NSW Fire Brigade Employees Union who calls again for planning and funding for the present and future fire danger.
Arthur Rorris secretary of the South Coast Council describes how the workers are footing the bill for this fire devastation. The load needs to be shared and planning needs to take into account the 'new normal'.
