FIRE SERVICES

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:41): I have a supplementary question. The minister repeatedly used the term 'research methodology'. Will the minister clarify whether she is referring to the development of the SARAM model and, if that is the methodology she is referring to, why have the working parties been formed before that model has even been finalised?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:41): Initially, when I became minister, the research methodology that was being used was called SAFERS, in particular, and now we are calling it SARAM, or that is another name we are using. This government is about nothing but consulting with the community.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Question time is running out.
