Wellington President NZP Firefighters Union Clark Townsley on FENZ enquiry

Firefighters, currently on strike, are getting support to upgrade their fleet from a new inquiry into FENZ. Parliament’s Governance and Administration Select Committee, fronted by Deputy Chair and National MP Tim Costley, has launched an enquiry into FENZ specifically on the state of their fire truck fleet.  Nick speaks to Wellington Local President of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union (NZPFU) and Senior Station Officer Clark Townsley to find out what the union think of the inquiry.  Townsley says they would like a general inquiry into FENZ, and Costley says their answer have been "confusing and contradictory". The board of FENZ received a pay increase yesterday - some members getting a 79% rise, while pay disputes for frontline firefighters have gone on for 16 months.  Townsley called this a "bombshell".
