From Aus Thread #5
Metropolitan Fire Brigade chief Dan Stephens has resigned after just over a year in the role, effective immediately.
It is the cumulation of a rocky term for Mr Stephens, and the latest development in the tortured process to set up Victoria's new firefighting body.
MFB Board President Jasmine Doak thanked Mr Stephens, who moved from the UK to Australia to take up the role, for his service and leadership.
Mr Stephens' appointment sparked tension with Victoria's powerful firefighters union when it was announced in April 2018, with branch secretary Peter Marshall criticising his "union-busting, budget breaking" record.
Mr Stephens rebuffed the claims upon starting his role in late May, 2018.
Mr Stephens' resignation comes less than a month after the state government's contentious fire services reforms became law.
The legislation, which passed on June 20, devolved the Country Fire Authority into a volunteer-only organisation while maintaining its 1200 volunteer brigades. There had been no guarantee that Mr Stephens would lead the new agency.
The new Fire Rescue Victoria would replace the MFB and take control of 38 Country Fire Association brigades in mid-2020.
Mr Stephens reportedly went on "indefinite" leave in late June, after the state government failed to back him to lead the new FRV.
Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville thanked Mr Stephens for his service.
"He has shown great commitment to the Victorian community and leaves the MFB in a strong position during a time of change," she said.
Opposition spokesman for emergency services Brad Battin praised Mr Stephens, while slamming the state government's connection to the firefighters union.
"[Mr Stephens] could never achieve the goal of improving the culture as the government owes too much to UFU Secretary Peter Marshall, who it would appear had wanted Mr Stephens gone for months.
"Mr Stephens was targeted by the United Firefighters Union even prior to his arrival to Victoria.
"Dan Stephens' resignation is a huge loss to Victoria's fire services and to any attempt to ensure all firefighters have a safe and bully-free work environment."
The firefighting services reforms have a bitter history that spans three years. At its fiercest, in 2016, the debate saw the resignation of multiple CFA chiefs and then-Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett.
Ms Garrett refused to back Premier Daniel Andrews' decision to side with the United Firefighters' Union in its industrial dispute with the CFA.
The entire CFA board was also sacked by the Andrews government in 2016.
When the state government attempted to again push through legislation to break up the fire services in 2018, it was upended by a Coalition ambush at the end of a marathon upper house debate.

Victorian IBAC threatening a political firestorm
DAMON JOHNSTON - OCTOBER 6, 2021
1/2
Peter Marshall is raging like a wildfire. Blindsided by the government's appointment of Liverpool fire and rescue boss Dan Stephens as Victoria's new fire services chief, the United Firefighters Union head jumps on Raf Epstein's ABC radio show and hits the lights and sirens.
"The truth will come out about Daniel Andrews and James Merlino ... they made a number of promises and they will come out in the near future," he says, accusing the Premier and his Emergency Services Minister of "sell?ing out" firefighters by appointing the "union-busting" Stephens.
"The promises will come out closer to the election."
Epstein asks Marshall about long-running rumours he secretly taped a private meeting with Andrews. He is asked six times if he recorded the Premier. Each time, he ducks, choosing to fuel the rumour of a recording.
"You better ask Dan Andrews that and not me," he says.
In that interview on April 18, 2018, Marshall sent Andrews a very direct message; if you betray me and my members, I'll come after you, even if you're the Premier. The general view was that since 2014, Andrews had bent over backwards to give the UFU pretty much everything it wanted, yet here was Marshall torching one of the closest union-government alliances in the state's history.
Seemingly as a payback for UFU support during the 2014 election campaign, Andrews brought his government to the brink of disaster in 2016 by gutting the volunteer CFA and handing the UFU more operational authority over the rival organisation. Generous pay, allowances and conditions were also offered.
Labor's then emergency services minister Jane Garrett opposed the pro-UFU position. So Andrews forced her out of cabinet. Senior CFA executives and board members were also thrown overboard by the Premier.
Federal Labor leader Bill Shorten has admitted the crisis damaged his 2016 federal election campaign in Victoria, as it was fought out in the midst of this ALP-UFU-CFA crisis.
Yet here was Marshall threatening on live radio to destroy Andrews. Later, the union chief would issue a statement saying there was no secret recording.
But the damage was done.
The interview came to the attention of IBAC, Victoria's secretive anti-corruption authority. Whistleblowers also provided material and statements to the organisation. About the middle of 2018, six months before the November state election, IBAC started sniffing around the relationship between the Andrews government and the UFU.
Operation Richmond was off and running.
Given Andrews had personally intervened to sideline Garrett in her negotiations with Marshall in 2016 and held a private meeting with the union chief, the ?Andrews-Marshall dealings were on the IBAC whiteboard. Over the next six months, including the tense four weeks of the 2018 election, the investigation slowly built, gathering information and interviewing witnesses.
