Are you saying that funding for LFAs in Queensland is different to the rest of the States and Territories?

For the rest of us the LFAs are funded through the NAFC, the "N" standing for NATIONAL, which seems to indicate its a Federal body?
NAFC is the Federal overarching body for contracting aerial assets on behalf of Members, who happen to be all the States and the NT. But I understand that the individual Member pays for the aerial asset that they contract through NAFC. The Feds can fund the NAFC and co-ordinate the use of aerial assets. No use having aircraft sitting on the ground in Qld if there are fires in Vic.
