Questions without notice and ministers statements
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Environment. How many of the 290 forest fire management G-Wagon firefighting appliances recently taken offline due to a fault cannot be repaired and will be written off?
Members interjecting.
The SPEAKER: The member for South-West Coast is warned.
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:42): Tony is a CFA captain in eastern Victoria who is fighting to keep all of his brigade’s appliances in his town rather than having to loan them to forest fire management. Given the need for the CFA to maintain surge capacity and the requirement to properly resource forest fire management with appliances, when will the FFM have its fleet fully replaced and operational?
