NSW govt 'has failed the state on bushfires' and should be 'called out' | Sky News AustraliaFire Brigade Employees' Union of New South Wales Secretary Leighton Drury says the NSW government has 'failed' the state this bushfire season, as he called for a federal royal commission into the issue. \n\nMr Drury told Sky News host Sharri Markson the NSW government have been 'stymieing' Fire Rescue NSW's budget, which has led to 'less professional fire fighters' than seen in previous years. \n\n'Since they've got into power, they have cut budgets that has led to the problem that we're now seeing,' Mr Drury said.\n\n'We need a royal commission into this ... we need an absolute overview of this, a federal overview,' he said. \n\nMr Drury said the state has been 'basically crippled' by the devastating bushfires experienced this fire season as commented that the resulting 'scorecard' of damage and death incurred is one which reflects poorly on the state government. \n\nMr Drury said the state government 'have failed this community of New South Wales for the last eight years and it should be absolutely shown up'. \n\nHe also called for enhanced fire reduction burns to be undertaken by 'a professional work force,' saying professional firefighters from Fire Rescue NSW should be responsible for conducting enhanced control of hazard reductions as opposed to volunteers. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n
