          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:58):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker, a supplementary on the same question: this morning the minister made a comment that if CFS volunteers could not use their radios to make emergency calls they had other contingencies. What are those other contingencies, minister?</text>

PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:59):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I thank the honourable member for his question. My understanding is that there is a UHF frequency, which he is aware of, and that is a fall-back position. As I said, it is a question of using a combination of systems or networks to actually get the best coverage.</text>
