About this episode
Over the weekend, 85 fires blazed across New South Wales. Fires remained out of control in Victoria’s Gippsland yesterday, and more threatened homes in rural Queensland.
It’s a frightening start to bushfire season, and summer isn’t even here yet.
For many, it conjures fears about a repeat of the 2019 Black Summer.
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and former commissioner of Fire and Rescue NSW Greg Mullins on why the last few weeks have changed his mind about the season ahead.
