Country Fire Authority Fish Creek and Winnindoo brigades

Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (09:57): Happy 80th birthday to the Fish Creek fire brigade. Established in 1944, the Fish Creek brigade is older than the CFA itself. A special mention to Captain Ray Poletti, who was awarded a CFA service medal for an incredible 55 years of volunteering.

Still on the CFA, what an embarrassment it is for this Labor government that the Winnindoo fire brigade still is not inside of the new station they were promised four years ago this month. Incredibly, the station is now not expected to be built until 2026, six years after it was announced in the state budget. What an indictment this is, proving yet again that Labor cannot manage money, cannot manage projects – (Time expired)
