Scots mostly Presbyterian and fire service in NSW
The speaker notes almost 80 percent of Scots are Presbyterians and cites NSW fire risks. He cites 1951/52 lottery receipts of £3,204,902 for councils and asserts public authorities like Railways should be under local jurisdiction. He argues firefighting should stay with volunteer brigades, warns that improper interference harms outcomes, and urges immediate overhaul to avoid greater losses than last year.
