What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Minister Marisa Paterson commented on the introduction of two new, Australia-first heavy tanker fire trucks into service with the ACT Rural Fire Service ahead of the 2026-2027 bushfire season. These vehicles were funded through the ACT Government's Vehicle Replacement Program. Separately, Minister Paterson stated that the ACT government would not consider anti-consorting laws despite calls from the territory's chief police officer, noting such laws were 'deeply problematic' and conflicted with the territory's Human Rights Act.
