Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (12:54): My question is for the Treasurer Jaclyn Symes. Treasurer, from 1 July 2025 the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund will replace the fire services property levy. For the first time, the fund will be used to benefit broader emergency and disaster response services, not just fire services. Every dollar raised will go to emergency services, ensuring all our hardworking emergency services have the tools and resources they need. My question is: Treasurer, which emergency and disaster response services will benefit from the ESVF and how, in my region?
