Personal Explanation

WORKERS REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION (SAMFS FIREFIGHTERS) AMENDMENT BILL

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (12:57): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: During debate on the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation (SAMFS Firefighters) Amendment Bill yesterday I tried to explain to the house the criteria for retained firefighters. I want to clarify to the house, in case I was unclear, that the criteria applicable to retained firefighters in the MFS are the same criteria applicable to full-time firefighters in the MFS.

[Sitting suspended from 12:58 to 14:00]
