NSW Deputy Premier wants volunteer firefighters paid
NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro wants volunteer firefighters to be paid next fire season.

Mr Barilaro told Ben Fordham they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.
“Some of these volunteers are on the fireground for a month, two months, three months … that’s beyond volunteering.
“There should be a trigger point where they get compensated for their time.”
