Just as I thought, no reason for the PM of the day to meet with ex fire chiefs.
Why didn't these expert ex fire chiefs contact the current fire chiefs who actually have a role to play in each state and pass on their expert knowledge ? Maybe, they were scared that the current fire chiefs would take all the credit for their "brilliant" ideas and foresight ?
Or, as is more likely, they wouldn't get their stage for political posturing which is what they are most upset about.
Never fear, the ABC will provide the stage - lights, camera ..... action.
