          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:49):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. Given that the CFS had radio system failures in Ngarkat in 2014, Sampson Flat in 2015 and Pinery last week, when can CFS volunteers expect a workable system to protect their lives?</text>

PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:49):</by>  First of all, I would like to thank the honourable member for his question. It is an important question and one which needs to be addressed with the facts before we jump to conclusions.</text>
        <text id="2015120169deef894f464c1590000516">I would not agree with the views he has expressed. I do not agree with those but, having said that, I can advise the house that I have had discussions today with a number of people and will review the matter overall. A key part of that matter will be to make sure that any communications issues are addressed as part of that review.</text>
        <text id="2015120169deef894f464c1590000517">In addition to an independent review, there will be officers from the agency speaking to a number of people immediately with them to get some more facts. I think it is very important that before we start offering solutions we fully understand what the issue is first.</text>
