DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND
EMERGENCY SERVICES VOLUNTEERS —CODE OF CONDUCT — COMMUNICATION
WITH MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
494. Mr D.T. REDMAN to the Premier:
The Premier has often claimed that
his government will act with a gold standard of transparency. Does this claim
of gold standard transparency also apply to the Department of Fire and
Emergency Services; and, if so, does the Premier support the mandatory code of
conduct that gags volunteers from contacting or communicating with any federal
or state members of Parliament regarding emergency services matters?
