Job cuts at Western Australia's electricity utility could mean more bush fires
Job cuts at Western Australia's electricity utility could mean more bush fires. Representatives from the Australian Services Union and the Electrical Trades Union met in Perth to discuss the situation. “ETU WA branch secretary Les McLaughlan warned WA was at risk of making the same mistakes as Victoria before the Black Saturday bushfires. "The royal commission into Victoria's Black Saturday bushfires, which left 173 people dead, found that faulty privatized power lines were responsible for causing five of the most devastating blazes," Mr McLaughlan said.”
