Bushfire preparedness

Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Attorney-General, Minister for Emergency Services) (12:49):(By leave) In the spirit of being helpful, I was wondering if I could answer the question that I took on notice for Ms Crozier to give more specific data. My answer was ‘at least 10’, and I have got the data that has come through if she would like me to dispatch that now. There were 10 aircraft available over the weekend, there were 15 yesterday and it was reduced to 12 today because of the reduced risk in the Mallee.
