Country Fire Service

Mr CREGAN (Kavel) (15:29): Supplementary question to the same minister: can the minister commit to resolving this issue before the fire season?

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (15:30): As I pointed out, this government is spending record levels of funding on our CFS emergency services—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left!

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA: I have pointed out the $97.5 million that we are spending, making sure that, quite frankly, we make upgrades all across the state. The Adelaide Hills is an exceptional, important area of our state where we will continue to spend millions of dollars in upgrading facilities and making sure that we continue to be as resilient as possible come bushfire season. At the same time, there are also areas like Kangaroo Island and the West Coast and the South-East, so we will continue to work hard to make sure that we are as resilient as possible for the next bushfire season, right across the state.
