Emergency Services

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:39): My question is again to the Minister for Emergency Services. Given the minister's announcement on Monday that the chiefs of the emergency services will be retained, can the minister confirm whether the deputy and assistant chiefs will be retained?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:39): It is quite clear from the announcement on the 18^th, as well as previous announcements, that it is not proposed to keep those positions as they are now.
