Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —will the minister refer us all to the press release that went along with that tweet that noted it was the powerlines that were out, not 000?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:24): I thank the honourable member for her question: she clearly has the interests of so many South Australians at heart when she asks pertinent questions about the services that are available to people. I have been advised that 000 is up and running at full operational capacity. Additional staff were called in to 000 yesterday afternoon to be prepared to accept any additional calls that come in as a result of the state undergoing a significant emergency.
