I refer to the Minister's concession that he did not sight the September 2011 report by Integral Development and Lynda Folan into the Department of Environment and Conservation's succession planning until February 2012, and I ask:
(a) what is the nature of any pre-fire season briefing that the Minister will receive from the Department this year; and
(b) what measures will the Minister initiate to ensure that he is fully informed?
