I think sand blaster made some very good points.
Wetpac Surf Rescue have always been a self serving self centred organisation that have taken community funds and wasted much of them. I can remember many times seeing Surf doing commercial work at less than commercial rates. They believed that they had the right.

I still have the files with the yellow pages ads for Surf. they were in about five or six areas. they were looking for work as a courier or a photo platform or sling work, even as executive charter. The management of Surf were empire builders for there own gain and ego's.

From what I here not much has changed since.

Wetpac sponsors the helicopters as they are the single best piece of advertising they use.

20,000 lives saved. really.

Surf had to get rid of the Sunshine Coast helicopter because they rented it out to a company at a very low rate. The company flew its life out, (for a huge profit), and there was no money left in the till for a rebuild.

It is about time the government stepped in and ran the rescue system as a single unit and protected community funds.
