FENZ did 'everything wrong' in abuse case - advocate

From Checkpoint, 5:51 pm on 28 February 2022

Fire and Emergency is being accused of doing "everything wrong" in dealing with a volunteer firefighter who was allowed to remain on his brigade after being convicted of indecently assaulting his young son.

An advocate for sexual violence survivors says the organisation doesn't seem to have improved the way it deals with sexual harassment and assault complaints despite vowing to, following a 2018 review.
