The 2010 Sydney May Day march will be held on Saturday 1 May with members meeting at Hyde Park at 1200 hours. Given it is our Centenary year the FBEU will be leading the march, which will conclude in First Fleet Park, The Rocks. Following the march, members and their families are invited to gather at the Glenmore Hotel (96 Cumberland St, The Rocks). While not necessary, it would be helpful for catering purposes if members who intend attending could let FBEU know with a simple email (office@fbeu.net).
Former President of the Fire Brigade Employees’ Union (2009-2018) and a professional firefighter with more than 30 years experience. I live and work on the NSW South Coast, Australia. I am a strong advocate for firefighters and emergency service workers with an interest in mental health issues and caring for those around me. I am a former Director on the NSW Fire Brigades Death and Disability Super Fund and work with charities including ‘The Movember Foundation’. As a leader and activist I have long been active in the campaign for action on climate change. I am a Station Commander in the fire and rescue service in NSW and have 30 years experience fighting fires, both rural and urban. I am passionate about highlighting the impact climate change is having on fire preparedness and fire behaviour in Australia, and the risks associated with inaction on climate change. I am also a spokesperson for the Australian Climate Media Centre.
