FIREFIGHTERS — PRESUMPTIVE LAWS
729. Ms M.M. QUIRK to the
Minister for Emergency Services:
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister give
volunteers at this weekXXX ###XXXs Department of Fire
and Emergency Services conference the courtesy of outlining a specific time
line for when this legislation will be introduced?

AnswerView source ↗

I am, to some degree, in the hands of the draughtsman here. I
can tell the member what I have told all volunteer firefighters ,
which is that I expect the introduction of that legislation to be imminent. My
understanding is that the draft is nearly finished and I expect to see it
shortly.
