EYRE PENINSULA BUSHFIRES
22 June 2006

Mrs PENFOLD (Flinders): Will the Premier confirm that a complete set of all CFS audio tapes, other electronic records and incident logs relating to the Wangary fire is still in the possession of the government and available to the Coroner? The transcript from the Coroner's inquiry into the Wangary fire on 26 May 2006 states:

     Some transcripts provided to the inquiry appear to be an incomplete copy of what happened in the fire. . . and that someone has had some discretion as to what is included from all regional talk groups.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Premier): Whilst I am a member of the CFS, I am not aware of that. I will inquire of the emergency services minister. Certainly, neither have I seen nor do I have in my possession any transcripts or tapes. I will inquire to find out the provenance of the transcripts.
