The announcement comes as conditions look set to deteriorate with soaring temperatures and strong winds expected to fan the flames in the coming days.

this is a horrific state of affairs,this type of thing happens with monotinous regularity in the Eastern states,many many of these fires are deliberately lit,having been a volunteer fighter for eighteen and a half years,seeing the dispair,tears and horror of what fire can do,arsenists,like Murderers in my book should be put out of their misery

[Dazzler]

Yeah, they caught a 12 and 13 year old girl who lit one fire

Wanna put them out of their misery, Rick?

TWO boys, aged 11 and 14, have been labelled stupid and reckless after being charged with deliberately lighting fires in New South Wales.

We're getting a minute by minute update on the fires over there.  I guess that's because so many Ozzies have COME HOME and they all wanna know what's happening out there.

Just to pour cold water on things, it has rained incessantly all night here...   I struggled to to force that pun <sigh>

Rusty, don't execute the children, execute their parents...    It's all the parents fault   

OK OK just kidding.

Lets hope there are no more deaths

I think it was Rick advocating that. 
Perhaps just a public flogging will suffice.
