Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:39): Further supplementary, again to the Minister for Emergency Services: given the minister's answer, can the minister guarantee that the public won't be put at risk because of mobile phone blackspots, given that Intergraph is reliant on mobile phone technology? How will the MFS respond where there are mobile phone blackspots?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:39): I thank the honourable member for his question. One of the key jobs, whether it is the MFS chief officer, the CFS chief officer, the SES chief officer or, in fact, any emergency person, is to manage risk responsibly and I have no doubt they will do that.
