    Yup, thats a huge if, especially amongst the younger people required for physical work like emergency services.

    Its a pipe dream politically, but taxing our coal and gas industry to an inch of their life and using it to pay SES volunteers would be a nice start. Its pretty much established that they are responsible for the increased occurances of natural disasters, they should pay a part in cleaning them up. And I’ll take my unicorn in pink…
