Metropolitan Fire Service

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:14): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. What plans has the government put in place to replace the 200 MFS firefighters who are likely to retire in the next year or so, now that superannuation has recovered from the GFC?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for his question. As the member would be aware, the MFS runs a number of recruitment processes. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was at one recently—a graduation ceremony. I have confidence that the chief officer will make sure that as he requires new recruits, they will be trained and available for work.
