Glad the volunteer paramedics were not hurt.

In what sense?? Are you suggesting they were perms and not volly? Are you suggesting they were not paramedics? Are you suggesting it was not Wyndham? Or are you pointing out the mis-spelling of Wyndham?

Most country towns in WA are manned by volunteer staff and do not have any Paramedics.

The volunteers do an excellent job, however they do not have any advanced training or skills as do the Metro Paramedics.

The media has incorrectly assumed that the volunteers in the Wyndam rock attack are Paramedics...................

That may be the case, but to me at least, what matters is that emergency personnel serving the community were attacked.

Having been a volunteer previously in Kununurra, Both towns have a paramedic that liases with both towns. The vehicle involved was actually from the Kununurra centre.
