Lessons of Black Saturday ignored as Australians forget, research showsDespite a decade of reforms to the way we manage bushfire risk, another day like Black Saturday could lead to similar numbers of deaths, a top bushfire expert says. What they don't get, is that leaving is not realistic. I simply can't be away from home all day hanging around in town for 30+ days every year on the off chance of a fire happening - when my house is better prepared than my friends' houses in town anyway.

Putting our safety at risk for a UFU EBA. Sickening.

Was it the best he’d ever bowled? Probably not. But the performance IS a message to selectors to stick with talent- even if they are not having a great run. Stop the chop and change. That’s my 2 cents.
