Judgement Day: Black Saturday report release looms

By Jane Cowan
Jul 26, 2010

But any premier knows the deaths of 173 of your citizens is more than a natural disaster. It was a military commander who said it.

"You can have the greatest personality, the greatest man management, the greatest common touch that you like... if you're getting your people killed or lost in fires or you're not doing the job, people won't respect you."

It had taken 140 days of hearings for someone to put it so bluntly.

Major General Jim Molan was talking about leadership on the battlefield but had seen enough similarities to bushfire to think it relevant.

The Victorian Premier can hardly be held responsible for a disaster that was both a freak of nature and the awful consequence of decades of policy made by successive governments ..
