Probably a mixture of analog and p25 and CB channels.

Probably best to expand on your question a bit.

Simply saying 'National Interop' is very vague. Are we talking about a private company that has national interests, Rail, Defence, Law, SACPAV?

There is not really such a thing in Australia at the moment, and with each State being so large it's not really needed. In the past some provisions were in place, but they were rarely (if ever) used and have been replaced by better alternatives. There are still simplex channels around, but they are by no means programmed into most services radios. There is a push to allow interoperability between emergency trunked networks, but it's not in place yet. Border towns may have local provisions in place, but the way emergency management protocol and systems are setup in Australia there is not a specific need to have national interoperability on a radio.

would mean where each service can talk to each other eg QPS, QFES and QAS on one radio channel as the need arises. Not National but most certain state.

I was reading some documentation for the new SAGRN and it says all the radios will have programed in National Interop to allow everyone to talk together in the event of a major emergency etc.

National Interop is a system involving using the Internet to connect to various agencies' radio systems to avoid the cost of setting up a separate , nation wide radio system. Sort of like IRLP.

Following Cyclone Tracey, because there were so many different radio frequencies used by emergency aide that had been sent to Darwin, it was decided to have a nation wide police allocation. Due to changes in technology, this is no longer so. National Interop seeks to replace a reliance on nation wide allocations by linking the different communications systems of various agencies in all the states and territories via Internet. This allows each agency to use the radio system of its choice without duplication or having to follow suite with others. The idea is for a national system.
