My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the concern expressed by school principals in my electorate about the quality of their bushfire refuges and their belief that the proposed upgrades will be insufficient. I further refer the Prime Minister to my unanswered letter to him of 16 June 2009 regarding the immediate need for the highest quality fire refuges for schools in the Dandenong Ranges. Will the Prime Minister assure the House that he will intervene to ensure that fire refuge shelters in schools will be upgraded to the highest standard before the beginning of the fire season?
