ADF Fire fighting

A number of years back an individual in the RAN had done all the work to have the helo's signed off for bucket's. At the last minute it went fitzzz. Mid 90's the RAAF were looking at a CL 125 ( I think) which also could have been used for some SAS work as well as fire fighting. Why at the time do we not have helo operation that include fire fighting capabilities. I know it blows out flying hours and the budget but if we can and do provide humanitarian aid why is this not factored in as part of the ADF remit?
