Emergency Services

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:10): Another supplementary, then, Mr Speaker: if the UFU EB is locked in until 2017, does that mean you are going to renegotiate that enterprise bargaining agreement with the UFU?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:10): I thank the honourable member for his question. It may be a surprise to the member, but all agreements are subject to renegotiation by agreement with the parties. That is part of the enterprise agreement. There is an expectation that an agreement goes until a certain period of time. If other events occur and the parties agree to renegotiate, that goes forward. There is nothing extraordinary about that. I am surprised you are actually asking that question.
