Save the Rescue Helicopter
Dont normally subscribe to these on-line petition things but, i do surf and this is important
Hi All,
You may have heard that the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter & Careflight
Helicopter Service may be losing their contract with the NSW Government In
the near future.
The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter, an Australian organisation has
been around for 34 years and has played a huge part in saving over 34,000
lives. Unfortunately the good work they do is now under threat, as from next
year the NSW Government will be replacing the Sydney, Newcastle and Tamworth
services with a foreign owned service from Canada that will COST TAX PAYERS
TEN TO SIXTEEN TIMES MORE than it does currently.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could sign the petition at the site
below to help save this organisation and support them in continuing to do
the important and LIFE SAVING work that they do. It explains the situation
they are in and what you can do to help. The Westpac Life Saver Rescue
Helicopter relies on the support of the community to continue its service
and now is when they need your support the most!
One day you may need help from one of these great organisations.
Thank you in advance.

Hunter region Chopper safe for at least next 5 years. Not sure about Careflight. Know a little about goings on and you would be amazed at the politics
between organisations and the overseeing authority that makes call to choppers. Very complicated lots of knives lots of backs!!!
