Eastern Victoria Region
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:10): (2407) My question is for the Minister for Emergency Services, and it is: will the minister prioritise the Inverloch fire brigade for the new next generation medium pumper when they become available within the next two years? Rochelle Halstead, the Liberal candidate for Bass, recently met with this incredible brigade. Local volunteers expressed their extreme frustration with the allocation of funds for the pumper trucks that are coming out soon. They expressed their disappointment with the Allan Labor government’s recent announcements of how they are going to be allocated. It is hard to understand what framework the government are using when they are making these decisions. Inverloch has a 27-year-old pumper truck that is unable to carry all the equipment needed to ensure their volunteers’ safety, yet the replacement is not a priority. Inverloch residents are paying your tax on volunteers and emergency services, yet they are still not receiving what they need.
