Volunteer firefighter responds to CEO's suspension

From Checkpoint, 6:07 pm on 1 September 2020

The chief executive of the volunteer firefighters' association Bill Butzbach has been suspended while allegations of bullying and harassment are investigated.

The complaints relate to incidents several years ago and will now be the subject of an investigation by Kristy McDonald QC.

Her probe comes as Fire and Emergency faces mounting pressure over the way it handles complaints over sexual assault, harassment and bullying.

Tony Sutorius is a senior firefighter with 22 years experience, he's the founder of Vollynet, which is the largest online community for volunteer firefighters.

Tony joins Lisa Owen to discuss the issue.
