00:00And we can go this other way, just close him up, yep, that's alright, that's alright.
00:13Fantastic, so seeing you down here, you guys can just pop up.
00:16Down in that gap, yeah, come up a bit, in there, that's it.
00:22And you can pop up there, yep.
00:33Also in the middle of it, it's really important to keep in mind that this is one part of the 164 trucks and vehicles,
00:42but today's handover contributes to the additional 164 trucks and vehicles
00:50that have been updated within the SES over the past 12 months.
00:54There's been a funding commitment of $94.7 million in this year's budget.
00:59This is all designed to support our amazing SES,
01:02our incredible 10,000 volunteers right across the state.
01:05But here, right in the southern zone, in the southern part of New South Wales,
01:10our volunteers face extraordinary challenges
01:12and they rise to those challenges all the time.
01:14What this is about is making sure we have the proper equipment
01:18and the proper support to be able to do the job that they do.
01:22The new vehicles will allow us to turn out more efficiently
01:28in providing our service to the community.
01:31It gives us enhanced capabilities.
01:34It also allows us to utilise some of the most recent tools that have been released,
01:40so really improving our capability, our efficacy
01:44and our service to our local community members.
01:48You can't get better than that!
