Emergency Services, Member Visit Protocol

Mr BOYER (Wright) (14:13): My question is again to the Minister for Emergency Services. As an SES volunteer and member of parliament, do I now need to seek ministerial permission to attend SES training at the Salisbury MFS SES station?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER Order! Minister, before I call you, the member for Hammond will not interject before the minister speaks. Minister.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:14): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I do appreciate the member's question again and I reiterate how important it is. I hope that he has an ongoing interest in the emergency services because they are vital to the wonderful work that happens here in South Australia. I stress to him again: if he would like a briefing on the protocol—although he has actually put this protocol in place himself in a previous life—I'm happy to give him a briefing and let him know what he needs to do.
