Paul Edbrooke Emergency Services Minister Turns His Back on the Community & Firefighters
Beach Street in Frankston was blocked off today as firefighters rallied outside the electorate office of local MP and Emergency Services Minister Paul Edbrooke. Edbrooke did not appear at the rally, where frustrated firefighters made their feelings very clear. The United Firefighters Union says negotiations for a new operational agreement have broken down, with the […]
Fed Up Firefighters Take Fight to Minister Edbrooke
Minister for Emergency Services, Paul Edbrooke, is failing Firefighters and the Community. #firecrisisvictoria #victoria #frankston
BEN CARROLL. PAUL EDBROOKE. FIREFIGHTERS ARE COMING TO YOUR ELECTORATES
67% of FRV fire trucks are past their service life. Victorians are paying twice as much emergency services tax while getting less fire service. Firefighters haven’t had a pay rise in 6 years while the Carroll Government is trying to remove the work conditions that protect firefighters and the community. Paul Edbrooke likes to use […]
Victorian ALP Government & FRV Executive Leadership Are Failing the Community & Firefighters
Victoria’s firefighters are being failed by the very government that sends them into burning buildings. Imagine running into a burning house to save someone’s family, only to discover your fire truck can’t pump water. That’s not hypothetical. It’s already happened in Victoria. In August, 62 Fire Rescue Victoria trucks were offline. Across the CFA, volunteers […]
BROKEN-DOWN FIRE TRUCKS. BROKEN PROMISES
This is what a fire service in crisis looks like. 67% of FRV’s fire truck fleet is past its service life, and now we’re seeing trucks breaking down and being towed away. Victorians are paying TWICE as much emergency services tax, yet Premier Ben Carroll and Minister Paul Edbrooke want firefighters and communities to wait […]
FORMER FIREFIGHTER. CURRENT MINISTER
Paul Edbrooke likes to trade on his firefighting past for political PR. But today, he is backing unprecedented attacks in the Fair Work Commission on the safe working conditions firefighters rely on. He once stood against attacks on firefighter safety. Now he’s the one driving them. Paul Edbrooke has turned his back on Victorian firefighters, […]
ITS A START BUT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE
Firefighters welcome the commitment to deliver 50 new fire trucks and ensure no Fire Rescue Victoria fire truck operates beyond its 15-year service life. But firefighters and Victorian communities need action — not promises for 2035. FRV’s ageing fleet is already in crisis, with too many firefighters relying on trucks that should have been replaced […]
NOW IS THE TIME TO SUPPORT VICTORIAN FIREFIGHTERS
Not enough trucks. Not enough firefighters. Another hot, dry fire season ahead. We’ve written to Government, spoken with communities, letterboxed electorates and taken our concerns to the streets. Premier Ben Carroll — the time to stand with Victorian firefighters is now. Make our fire service safe and support the firefighters who protect Victorians every day. […]
