About this episode

The Bureau of Meteorology determines a lot: from whether we bring an umbrella to work, to how much warning we get of a natural disaster – all the way to what we know about climate change. 

But now, serious questions are being raised about the bureau’s management – and it’s emerged that senior executives deliberately misled a federal court.

So, why did they lie? 

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on troubles at the BoM, and how internal struggles are getting in the way of the weather forecast.
