NSW now bearing the brunt of bushfire litigation

I tend to side more strongly with troll shifter then ricci. Trying to set some sort of legal precedent that all fires need to be put out as quickly as possible, regardless of cost, skill of staff, etc is seems a little dopey to me. But I have home insurance.

troll-sniffer’s comments do not deserve a response, so he is not getting one from me apart from this.

Well now wouldn’t that knock yer socks off. A litigation case started (against the odds of reason and logic) by a disgruntled section of the population unwilling to take responsibility for their own lifestyle choices.

Now that as expected it has started to go pear-shaped, with those whose brain cells are actually working deciding it’s time to pull the pin and not proceed into a pointless fray, only the hard-core of Today Tonight watchers remain, still convinced the firefighters and the guvmnt were responsible for their otherwise insurable losses and that they are owed a Lotto-like dividend from the public purse.

If the case is thrown out as it should be it will be a wake up call to all those who live in similar areas to take a bit of responsibility and not to assume the rest of society owes them protection they failed to arrange for themselves.
