Shellharbour MP visit to Dapto Fire Station

Last week were were able to showcase the work NSW firefighters do for the community for our local member of Parliament, Anna Watson.

We explained the concerns we have about the proposed changes to fire service funding in NSW and the outlined the campaign as per www.nonewtax.org.au

Ms Watson took on board our concerns and will be raising them in NSW Parliament soon. She also committed to rejecting any fire station closures (perm or temp) by the O’Farrell govt.
