Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation (SAMFS Firefighters) Amendment Bill - Transcript of Debate

02-Dec-2013 Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: I just looked on my smartphone on the CFS app and, right now, there are six incidents that the CFS are attending in our state, as we speak, on a relatively low fire-risk day. Those volunteers who are out there, in their own time, on a weekday, trying to support people across our state, deserve exactly the same amount of workplace protection, medical insurance and health protection as any professional volunteer who might be doing the same thing at the moment. Where they do the same work, where they face the same risks, they deserve exactly the same support from our government.
