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?

really add much more to what he said.
