Western Suburbs Meltdown – Vic ALP Fire Services Neglect!
The failures are piling up across Melbourne’s western suburbs, and Victorians are being left dangerously exposed. ASCOT VALE – Station 50 SUNSHINE – Station 44 (Two separate failures) MELTON – Station 56 These aren’t “isolated incidents.” They’re a crisis.

VICKI WARD DELETES HER OWN POST AFTER FIREFIGHTERS CALL OUT THE FACTS!

Victorian firefighters have not had a pay rise for years, […]
