Personal Explanation

STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (11:02): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: During the recent estimates committee session I said that the State Emergency Service Volunteer Association was in the process of developing a form of top-up insurance for volunteers injured or killed during the course of their duties. I am very pleased to have been advised that this insurance is already in place. I also congratulate the volunteers association for its early work in establishing a foundation fund that could also provide further assistance to volunteers who may have an accident whilst serving our community.
