SOS Tour Rolls On

Date: 11 April 2000

The FSU 'SOS' ambulance successfully visited 13 towns in its first week on tour, gaining strong community support and media coverage.

Gary Hayden, one of the FSU Ambulance Crew said the support from members and local communities has been overwhelming.

"Customers are so sick of queuing in branches, or worse not having a branch to go to", said Mr Hayden.

But they were more than willing to line up and sign the petition.

FSU has already collected more than 4,500 signatures for a petition calling on the Federal Government to introduce a Charter of Community Service Obligation for the banks.

The tour continues next week, when a new FSU Ambulance Crew takes the campaign to Northern NSW.
