The Canberra Times has the less than reassuring news that despite NSW, Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria all signing up for a new national bushfire warning system we still haven’t figured out what we’re doing.
- “a spokesman for ACT Emergency Services Minister Simon Corbell said yesterday that a decision would be announced next week.”
Let us pray that for once we just do what the others are doing. Even in the vanishingly unlikely event we were to come up with a better system, we’re better off being part of the national standard simply to make sure everyone’s on the same page come the day the sky turns black.
