1081. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House

This question was lodged yesterday,
but was unable to be answered. I refer to the Fire and Emergency Services

Department of Fire and Emergency Services employees are yet to present evidence
of being vaccinated against COVID-19?
(2) How many DFES employees have been suspended, stood
down or terminated as a result of noncompliance with the directions?
(3) Are any DFES employees
in contravention of these directions continuing to access a Fire and Emergency
Services site?
(4) What policy
is DFES applying in managing employees who are, as of today, in contravention
of directions issued pursuant to the Public Health Act 2016?
