Bushfire Action Week

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:28): Supplementary question: do the bushfire action plan materials include accessibility measures such as captioned videos, Auslan, Easy English and so on? Also, is the mobile app that the minister mentioned accessible to people with vision impairment?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:29): I know that the emergency services sector is constantly trying to make sure that the materials they produce do take into account all members of the community, whether that be through making sure that there are multilingual arrangements in place or, indeed, taking into account members of our community who may have a disability. I am happy to take on notice the specific areas that you have put in place. Rest assured, I get the sense that the leadership among emergency services are always trying to ensure that they are taking into account members of the community who might be in a minority group of some form or another. In regard to the specific measures you have just referred to, I am more than happy to take that on notice.
