ROLEYSTONE–KELMSCOTT BUSHFIRES — MINISTER FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES
I have a supplementary question. The minister did not answer part (3). What conversations did the minister have with the Commissioner of Police on the day and when did he have them? And what did the minister actually ask anyone to do; did he ask anyone to do anything, or did he take any action? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

What a stupid latter part of the question. I did not have a conversation with the police commissioner during the day until the State Emergency Coordination Group met at 6.30 pm.
