Country Fire Service Volunteers

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:34): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I was actually just finishing the question. My question is again to the Minister for Emergency Services. Will the government consider allowing CFS volunteers to check local fire hydrants, as they have in the past, rather than SA Water solely being tasked with this responsibility which they are clearly not able to keep up with? I can tell you that from personal experience.

The SPEAKER: Well, that is a comment, which is impermissible unless leave is sought. Minister?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for his question. That request hasn't been brought to my attention, but I am happy to meet with the member and discuss it.
