“Union bastards” expose the truth
All members have presumably seen, read or heard this week’s post-Tathra media reports of turf wars and other inter-service rivalries. Sitrep 9 doesn’t propose to revisit that here except to observe that:
- The Department has once again gone MIA and failed to defend FRNSW or its own firefighters, eventually crawling out from its own shadow yesterday to meekly toe the RFS line.
- The Union has done more to raise FRNSW’s public profile in the last 3 days than the Department has managed in 10 years – and all without a “+” symbol in sight.
- Alan Jones’ demolition of Minister Troy Grant on 2GB on Tuesday is well worth a listen (Click here).
2018 Election of the State Committee – update #3
The deadline for the withdrawal of nominations at midday saw nine candidates elected unopposed today. The remaining eight positions will be determined by a postal ballot of all financial members as at 16 February, with voting material to be posted by the Electoral Commission on Thursday 5 April.
Leighton Drury
State Secretary
