FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES AUTHORITY, FUNDING
I refer to the proposed new funding system for the Fire and Emergency Services Authority through an emergency service levy. (1) Does the minister intend to go ahead with FESA’s proposal for an emergency services levy and a separate road rescue levy? (2) If so, will these two levies raise the same amount of revenue as FESA’s original proposal for a single levy for emergency services? Mrs ROBERTS

I thank the member for some notice of this question.
