2021 State Election Candidate Survey Results

Bushfire Volunteers has asked candidates in the 2021 WA State Election to share their views to help voters who value their local Bush Fire Brigades and want to know more about their next Parliamentary representatives before casting their vote on 13 March.

While there are more questions we could ask, we choose the 10 important ones (click here to read) because we believe they will also provide an overview of each Candidate’s broader view of our amazing volunteers.

It is important to note that Bushfire Volunteers is strictly non-partisan, but as a member services organisation with a key objective of positively influencing policy – irrespective of which Party holds government – we are necessarily “political”. We don’t play favourites, but are absolutely dedicated to fighting for the best possible policies to protect, recognise and support our 20,000+ volunteer Bush Fire Brigade members.

With that in mind, please find below the answers we have received so far. We are updating this information regularly – check back regularly or subscribe using the form below to receive a quick email whenever new answers are published for your electorate.

Notes

• Every question in the survey started with “If elected, will you support…” followed by a particular policy position or action that the association is advocating for and offered Candidates three possible answers: “Yes”, “No” and “Abstain”, each also with an optional comment box.
• Candidates were provided the mobile phone numbers of our President and Executive Officer in case they wanted to discuss any question before submitting their answers.
• Respondents were told we will publish all answers and reserve the right to publish comments that are relevant, not defamatory and not duplicated by multiple Candidates from the same Party.
• Each question can be read by hovering over the Question Number. Click here to read all 10 questions and a detailed background about each.
