I consider it bad form to expect forum users to expend effort to investigate the worth of posted content. If you aren't familiar with inserting hyperlinks in your posts (using the 'chain link' icon immediately below the rainbow icon above) we'll be happy to assist you.
$200 million was spent merging the fire service and rural fire service.  Of the $200 million none of it went into front line equipment.  In fact the Fire Union is trying to find out just where it did go as FENZ went tell them.
