We have been loosing lots of our Emergency Services Personal to QLD as we are dual trainined (Ambulace & Fire etc......) - we have heard (roumoured) QLD may be the first Fire Service in Australia to run Red Ambulances.

Not quite Wayne. Actually our Service (Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting) has offered this service to all airport personel and anyone attending the airport ie passengers and visitors, for at least the last 10 years. We have a dedicated Domestic Response Vehicle at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and soon in Perth, to respond to Fire Alarms, MVA's and First Aid calls within Airport surrounds. These carry a range of firefighting, rescue and first aid gear, including Defibrillator and Oxygen Resuscitation Equipment. In fact, more turnouts are effected to first aid response than any other.

Have used the "jump start" cables a few times myself, sadly with nil success.

Having lived in a few places in this great land, I couldn't agree more Dennis.

It's interesting to see that we have quite a big group of emergency service people on here. Personally, I'm a career firefighter with the WA Fire & Rescue Service.

Also interesting to see that we are not the only emergency service in Aus that is finding it hard to get suitable staff. Anyone interested in a firefighting career with the WA FRS should look at Fire & Emergency Services Authority of Western Australia

All our major cities now have these areas. This is an effect known in the town planning business as "doughnut effect". As cities age, the industrial areas and workers housing that clustered around the city centre are re-developed as the industry moves out to bigger newer premises and the workers either follow to avoid long travel to work or can no longer afford housing in the refurbished, gentrified inner suburbs. They are displaced to the outer edge of the expanded city, hence "doughnut effect". So you have newer suburbs of cheap housing, public housing, lower paid workers, the welfare dependant, aboriginals, recent immigrants. Most of these areas I would not want to live in. I don't think I am a snob, but I was for a time a Social Security Field Officer and saw quite enough of these types of suburb and their inhabitants.
