          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:01):</by>  We certainly do, sir. My question is again to the Minister for Emergency Services. Did the minister issue a ministerial directive to the SAFECOM board to investigate the provision of additional equipment to Mount Barker CFS and will he table that ministerial directive?</text>

PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:02):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. I think he's asked me this question before in a slightly different way, and the answer is no different, though.</text>

          <by role="member" id="3123">The Hon. A. PICCOLO:</by>  Well, the answer is no different. The answer is no I did not give a direction. Certainly, the minutes of the board, which are public documents, I understand, indicate that I did raise it at a board meeting. I raised it, and that's what the meetings show, and there was a discussion at board level after I left the meeting at which the board made a decision about what they would do. End of story. They're in the minutes.</text>
