 All set, ready to go? I'm very pleased to be here at CFA headquarters here in Tallyhoe to make a significant pre-budget announcement. And this is a real boost for the CFA, it's a real boost for community protection and it's a real boost for the protection of our volunteers. The CFA is one of those fantastic organisations and the work that they did over the summer season was absolutely outstanding. The work they did down at Hazelwood and you look at places like Kilmore, Hullscap and in the Far East Gippsland, the work and the contribution of the CFA and the CFA volunteers was absolutely outstanding. So today I'm very proud to announce that it's a pre-budget announcement that we'll be putting in an extra $17 million into CFA trucks. Now that's an addition to what's already going to be announced in the budget next Tuesday. So in total there will be a $29 million investment into 78 CFA trucks. The 78 CFA trucks will be 74 medium tankers and four prototypes. This will be a significant boost for the CFA fleet. The CFA protect 3.3 million Victorians and over one million properties across Victoria. The volunteers and the CFA expect that the government support them. The Naphthine government is very proud to make this significant investment. I want to thank the CFA, I want to thank the CFA volunteers and I also want to thank Andrew Ford and Hans from the volunteer organisation for their strong commitment to ensure that the CFA trucks are kept up to date and as modern as possible. I'll hand over to you in. Thanks Minister and I'd like to acknowledge and thank the government for the additional $17 million which have been announced today. These will significantly add to the firefighting fleet of frontline appliances in CFA. The medium tanker brings new technology and new engineering to our fleet. It means that our firefighters will be more effective on the fire ground, they will be safer and of course more effective firefighting means that they can return to their families and their employers more quickly. This is a significant boost to the CFA capability. CFA welcomes it and appreciates the support of the government. I think it's also important to recognise that it's a signal of support particularly to CFA volunteers. The 74 medium tankers, one of which stands behind me, will be going into CFA volunteer fire stations. It's a frontline appliance for our rural fire stations throughout Victoria. We've been manufacturing this vehicle now for two years so it's well proven and a number of the new technologies have added great efficiency to the time and the efficiency of firefighting. The funding announcement today also allows us to build four prototype appliances. So this is a symbol of CFA and the government moving forward to the future, developing new appliances for the next generation of firefighters and again we value the commitment of government to CFA and our volunteers and our members for these new prototype appliances. It's a very exciting time in CFA and again I want to reinforce that firefighting trucks are one part of our capability mix and we always want to acknowledge the hard work by all of our members, frontline and also behind the frontline. We've seen over the last six months a very long and tough fire season. We've seen a fantastic outcome for the state of Victoria. Tragically one life was lost in the Northern Grampians fire but we think that the final wash up of the operations of the fire agencies over this fire season will show that we've done a great job and this announcement today will help ensure that in future fire seasons we can better protect Victorians. Thank you very much.
