MOUNT LOFTY BUSHFIRE PREVENTION GROUP

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. Given that the Mount Lofty Bushfire Prevention Group, which is in my electorate, was previously receiving $80,000 per annum from state government funding, and last year, before the election, received $160,000, why have they been told after a meeting with the government now that they will receive nothing in future years?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:05): I am happy to have a look at that particular matter.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT: If the member has any more detail I would like to have that provided to me. Obviously, I will check the matter with the CFS and see what discussions have occurred and if there is anything that has caused any difficulty in regard to this matter, obviously I will investigate it.
