Statement from a spokesman for Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Emergency Services and Bushfire Response regarding comments made by Jacinta Allan and union representatives on fire services budgets:

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

“Labor’s Jacinta Allan and her union friends seem particularly interested  in fire services budgets. Yet in 11 long years of Labor government, the CFA and MFB were never once provided a total budget anywhere near that which they have been in both years of this Coalition government.

“This is despite the fact Labor handed down two budgets after Black Saturday.

"The average total yearly spend on CFA and MFB in the last nine years of Labor government was $492  million.

“In the first two years of Coalition government, the average total spend on the CFA and MFB has averaged $780 million. The average total spend on the MFB and CFA under the Coalition is 58 per cent higher than the average during the last nine years of Labor.

“The average total CFA spend for the last nine years of Labor was $255 million – under the Coalition the average total spend is $476 million, 86 per cent more.

“The average total spend for the MFB for the last nine years of Labor was $237 million – under the Coalition the average is $304 million, 28 per cent more.

“This year’s budget is the second biggest in CFA history. The biggest was last year, which incorporated responding to many Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission recommendations.

"This Coalition Government has consistently provided far more funding to both the CFA and MFB than they received under Labor." Read More
