New revelations about volunteer fire fighters association
The Chair of the Volunteer Firefighters' Association, the UFBA, and its Chief Executive are the sole shareholders of a limited liability company registered two weeks before the chair commissioned an inquiry into the CEO. UFBA chairman Richie Smith and Chief Executive Bill Butzbach, jointly registered Tangata Matatau Limited with the company's office on August 3 last year. Just over two weeks later, Mr Smith commissioned a QC to conduct an inquiry into Mr Butzbach relating to claims of bullying and harassment.
