Ban fire trucks from elections: Vic report

Firefighters and paramedics could be banned from using their trucks, ambulances and uniforms to campaign at Victorian elections.

A review of the 2014 state election found fire trucks and ambulances were used during the campaign by public sector workers in possible breach of their code of conduct.

The committee recommends the laws be changed to "prohibit public sector workers using government property, such as ambulances, fire trucks and uniforms for political purposes and in election campaigns".
