WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT — VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS
657. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I have a supplementary question. I am
asking this question because there is a lack of clarity. Will the minister
undertake to assess the impact of these changes and provide absolute clarity
and assurance to our senior volunteers whom these brigades rely on?
Mr R.R.
WHITBY replied:
I thank the member. As I have just
explained, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services is currently engaged
in that process of consultation and in assuring the community, broadly,
including emergency services, that this is good legislation, it is there to
protect them and it will work well.
The SPEAKER: Members, that
concludes question time.
