Country Fire Service

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (15:28): I have a supplementary question. I asked the minister about whether the work would be tendered to South Australian businesses. Could he respond to that question, given that obviously South Australians are paying the ESL levy?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:28): I am happy to take that question on notice. I am aware and I am advised that our emergency services often do use South Australian businesses when it comes to engineering systems and equipment that is being designed for South Australian emergency vehicles—that happens on a regular basis. I will have to take the question on notice specifically in respect to the burn-over protection that I referred to, but I am more than happy to get that information to the Hon. Mr McLachlan as quickly as I can.
