Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (13:00): I am told that Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action firefighters have been put off commencing employment until 1 December, when every previous year they have commenced work on 1 November. On the eve of a summer forecast to produce more thunderstorms and therefore more lightning and more fire, it does not make sense. Can the minister confirm if this is the case and provide an explanation as to why this decision has been made? The final point is that we recently had DEECA announcing reduced office opening hours. In Bairnsdale they are closed every Friday, which is bad, but a person arrived there on Wednesday, found the office shut and was told to leave. Can the minister please look at this?
