I posted in here some time ago that I was keeping a list of as many media reports of arson as I came across

why didn't you do the same?

or have you suddenly become interested in that facet of the fires?


well, seeing you're interested now, off you go and make a list of your own.  It will be substantial and leave room for more

PM Scott Morrison defends climate policies and asks Australians to be 'patient' over fires

Morrison also referred to the government’s plans to review “all contributing factors” to the prolonged fire season, which included the inquiry into land clearing, which was set up in early December, to review policies across the states.

“Other issues of how you manage hazard reduction are important because, as you say, the impact, more broadly, of climate change on these issues has a pronounced effect on the length of the fire season,” he said.

“That, equally then has a need to address issues around hazard reduction for national parks, dealing with land-clearing laws, zoning laws and planning walls around people’s properties and where they can be built in countries like Australia, up and down the coast. That being the case with the climatic effects of what we are seeing, there are many restrictions around those effects that have to be reviewed on the basis on the broader climatic effect we are seeing in this country.”
