Firing home the blame for Australias biggest disaster

On the boundaries of branch and bark management.....its confusion reigns

The biggest disaster in Australia's history ! How long before Brumby realises who in his collection of duckshovers is at least partly irresponsible here . He should look closely at :-
the unresolved , unseen tensions between CFA and DSE at practical levels and practical advice procedures ;
- the fashion consciuos elements of DSE; Those elements of irresponsibility in private land advice , like CMAs's, who have presided over the cash, but have not really counted the cost; Presided over decades of failure to be reasonable in the field and kept going a determined , but totally irresponsible, effort by DSE to get Shires to do their dirty work.- creating the biggest bureaucratic bungling over branch and bark management that the world has ever seen?

Reigning in the careless conversation

The B government - it doesn't know who to trust. This of course, is nothing new but a sound leadership would find someone before they took another step. But no we must move on - the old dinasaurs must go - the ones who have fought fires and told us we don't plan.;theose carping old old ones The new ones love to fly the flag of the new broom unaware that its never swept anything up and is running on something thinner and weaker than what went before;The Premier ends up blaming, like some old emperors of the past the gods who brings this worse than ever before disaster on us . Pray to whom and why ? The god of lightning . Not convincing
Being innovative is the flag Brumby flies, but its often fulla hot air : When the smartarsing reactionaries effort fails to even come close to providing the levels of protection in the past -all hell breaks loose ; 181 deaths, many highly preventable, this week.
Every politician who wants to avoid disaster and ineffectiveness should insist on hearing of the voice of experience and discounting the daring overconfidence of the young.
While polys can blame their advisers, but 2 terms is a warning ; the advisors look think and act more like you than they did when you started -you both become responsible for the incompetence .
