The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has provided the following advice:

In response to part I—Yes, the executive director of the relevant division within the Attorney-General's Department (AGD) met with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet team conducting the review on behalf of the Minister for Police, Correctional Services and Emergency Services in early December.

The meeting centred on a particular aspect of the review, i.e. SAFECOM's current support of, for example, the State Emergency Management Plan and related national emergency management policy frameworks.

AGD will continue to assist this SAFECOM review as and when required.

In response to part II—This is subject to the outcomes of the review and the extent to which it may be relevant to the state's emergency management needs.

In response to parts III-V—These are matters that fall within the portfolio responsibilities of the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services. Questions regarding these matters should be directed to him.
