报酬不给,带薪休假可以有!莫里森为部分志愿消防员送出“圣诞礼物”

尽管此前政府驳回了向志愿消防员支付报酬的呼吁,但总理莫里森还是在昨天为部分志愿消防员们送出了“圣诞礼物”——为期四周的带薪休假。

总理斯科特·莫里森昨天宣布,从事公共部门工作的志愿消防员将获得四个星期的带薪休假。莫里森还承认,今年澳大利亚的山火季节比以往更长,各州发生重大火灾危险时期产生重叠,所以政府可能需要相应地改变政策。但他同时也强调:“社交媒体不能左右政府的政策制定”。

最近几日新南威尔士州天气凉爽,部分地区伴有降水,那里的消防员们得以度过一个较为舒适的圣诞节。

尽管如此,现在仍有超过2000名消防员在进行各项准备工作。原因是本周末整个新州的火情可能会再次恶化。

本次山火季节,至少有873栋新南威尔士州房屋被摧毁,另有353所新州房屋受到损坏。

据称上周四以来又有100多所房屋遭受大火侵袭,受损或毁坏的程度仍在评估当中。
