Questions without notice and ministers statements

Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Environment. All forest fire management G-Wagon vehicles and a number of Unimog firefighting appliances have been taken offline due to faults, just weeks ahead of what the Premier has said will be a high-risk fire season. CFA and SES appliances have been called upon to back up the missing vehicles. How many communities have had their local firefighting capacity reduced to cover this failure?

Concerns about these vehicles were first raised in 2017. Why is it only being addressed eight years later?
