Would seem to me that the unions have perhaps put a fly in Albo's ear.

Is there a "Safety case"  for fire services at these regional airports?
In regards to ICAO compliance, it was my understanding that fire services were only required
at international airports.

Can't recall airport fire services ever saving anyone from an aviation disaster
in Australia, I'm open to correction on that.

Would it perhaps make better and more economic sense to train local fire brigades to attend the airports? I suspect airport fire services come under a different union who no doubt would not take lightly another union encroaching on their turf.

Are airport fire services just another bit of fluff, bit like airport security, that give the punters an illusion of "Safety", but no-one ever tells them how much it puts on their ticket price.
