At least the piece was fairly balanced. But it annoys so much when "volunteer" is used as a curse word... Happens here too. Had a news piece with some plonker from some union having a rant and then said "It's reaching the point where volunteers will be responding to calls" (Shock, horror!) It's only been happening in NZ since before there were paid crews (and as the rule, not the exception). And as an ex-paramedic he should have known better; if he got a non-paramedic truck than that's what triage gave him.
