Metropolitan Fire Service

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:55): Supplementary: the minister noted that he engages with the UFU as the representative union of firefighters. Does he also meet with the CPSU which is also a representative union for firefighters in this state?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:55): I am a great believer in the role of the trade union movement to ensure a fair workplace in any sector and, of course, I would be willing to meet with the CPSU. I haven't as yet, but if I receive a request to do that, of course, I will do that gladly.
