Confusion continues

The battle is continuing according for the CFSVA according to Deputy Vice President, Mr Jeff Clark against the Emergency Services Minster, Mr Tony Piccolo’s Emergency Sector Reform.

After last fortnight’s protest, the CFSVA put a request to meet and discuss the issue with the minister in the same format as previous meetings.

“The minister advised us to raise our concerns with the sector reform reference group on February 23, but write him a letter about these concerns so he can respond with an informed answer on the day,” he said.

One of Mr Clark’s main concerns is that the volunteers are reading items in the media that are portraying a different image.

“All along the minister has been telling us that the reform structure would be from the commissioner down. However in a recent article in a Kangaroo Island newspaper he said there will be one commissioner in charge of the organisation and he the minister looks forward to rebuilding the organisation from the bottom up.
