Bushfire Preparedness

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Is the government considering a recruitment drive in order to have enough CFS volunteers to fight potential bushfires on government land?

Ms Redmond: Koutsy thinks there will be hundreds of them lining up.

The SPEAKER: The member for Heysen is called to order. Minister.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:24): Again, I thank the leader for his question. The repeated advice I have received from my agencies in this area when I have raised that matter on a number of occasions is that they are confident we can deal with the matters.
