Thanks Cav, for the info.
We thank all the paid support roles the armed forces supplied which brings me back to this overview section posted. And still asks the question Why doesn't Australia have a national type guard, (part of the ADF) own all the equipment necessary and are professionally trained, paid to fight fires on the front line. Overview The ADF is not trained, equipped or certified to undertake ground-based or aerial bush firefighting and does not get involved in the direct act of fighting bushfires outside Defence property. The Work Health Safety Act 2011 (Commonwealth) (WHS Act) limits the range of tasks that can be undertaken by Defence personnel, which includes the fighting of bushfires. The state and territory governments have primary responsibility for the protection of life, property and the environment, and for coordinating and planning emergency responses or recovery actions in disaster-affected areas within their jurisdiction. Seems the whole world is run by insurance companies.

Looks like it's a legal and political grey area for the Federal Government to use the ADF in disaster relief and the ADF members themselves and the federal government are open to criminal and civil lawsuit with no legal protection that our emergency services have. |
