2 Photo’s 22 years apart – Same old Truck – Minister Symes Your Do What I Say Not What I Do Attitude & Actions on Display – Fail!

The state of Victoria’s Fire Rescue Fleet can be summed up in these two photo’s.

LFF Paul Whelan is shown with his 4-year-old son in 2002, in front of Teleboom 44 (Car 376).

22 years’ later LFF Whelan, now retired, stands with his son Ed (now 26) in front of the same Teleboom which Ed now catches as a firefighter!

We ask, do Jacinta Allan and Jaclyn Symes get chauffeured around in 2002 Commodores?

If it’s good enough for Emergency Service Workers, its surely good enough for the politicians.

Or is it a case of ‘Do what I say, not what I do?’

The UFU acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land, and we pay our respect to their Elders, past and present.

The UFU supports the call of First Nations peoples for a Voice to Parliament to be enshrined in the Constitution.
