We Need Your Support. Make Premier Ben Carroll’s Labor Government Accountable
The Victorian Government has repeatedly ignored FRV Firefighters’ requests for much-needed replacement of failing fire trucks and equipment, and FRV Firefighters’ demands to stop wasting public monies in an attempt to remove FRV Firefighters’ conditions of employment.
FRV Firefighters and the communities they protect are at serious risk.
Property owners once paid a Fire Services Property Levy. This money was intended to be spent on the Victorian fire services. Instead, the fire service has been neglected.
This year, the Victorian Government pushed through a new Emergency Services tax on all rate payers – and doubled it! The burden of this significant tax increase will be felt by all Victorians including renters, small business owners, and farmers.
Victorians should be able to trust that when they call 000, a reliable fire truck will arrive with the firefighters, equipment and resources needed to help.
Instead, many fire trucks are beyond their intended service life, breakdowns are common, and growing communities are still waiting for the stations and resources they need.
Firefighters and corporate staff have also gone years without a general pay rise, despite the increasing demands placed on them.
With Victorians now paying more through the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund, we should expect that investment to deliver safer and better-resourced emergency services.
The premier must support our firefighters with reliable fire trucks, modern equipment, adequate staffing and resources, a fair pay outcome, and properly resourced fire services for growing communities.
This is ultimately about keeping Victorians safe.
There is a fire crisis in Victoria. Your local firefighters need your support.
