          <by role="member" id="3123">The Hon. A. PICCOLO:</by>  The only ones that have come to my attention are two on Eyre Peninsula. I am also aware that the CFS brigades in the Riverland have made a public statement saying that they will not join that protest. The only other one I am aware of is, as mentioned, in Echunga.</text>
        <text id="2014112080fde7371bb64be880000401">In my discussions just recently when I met with the volunteer group officers from region 2, which incorporates the Barossa, none of them brought that to my attention. In fact we had a very good discussion about a range of matters and the ESL was raised. Having said that, I noted their strong commitment to work for their communities.</text>
