Just take it down!
Much has been made of the oversized ‘Boxing Kangaroo’ flag that our o-so-classy Australian Winter Olympic team have seen fit to hang from their accommodation building in Vancouver. The IOC has ordered them to take it down, as the display of registered trademarks is prohibited by Olympic rules, but the Aussies are defiant and [...]

The Sunday Age
MICHAEL BACHELARD February 7, 2010

THE new national fire danger ratings system is a shambles which should be overhauled for the next fire season, some of Australia’s top fire scientists have warned. Kevin Tolhurst, the expert relied on by the Bushfires Royal Commission to explain the behaviour of the February 7 fires, told The Sunday Age that the new rating system was an overly simplistic ”political outcome” invented over three days last September by fire service bureaucrats using ”very little science”.

Bid to axe fire service levy
Caroline James
From: Sunday Herald Sun Feb 7th 2010

AUSTRALIA’S peak insurance body is putting pressure on the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission to axe the fire service levy.

The Insurance Council of Australia this month made its second submission to the commission, “calling for the abolition of the FSL”, which is added to all house insurance premiums.
ICA spokeswoman Sandra Van Dijk said Victoria’s FSL represented almost 80 per cent of total home insurance fees.
The Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the Country Fire Authority “rely on insured consumers for the bulk of their funding” via the levy, the submission stated.
“We think the current (fire services) funding model is not fair,” Ms Van Dijk said.
“It is paid for by everyone (who has home insurance) and only a few benefit.
“So we have put forward alternative models including the fact that most state governments have moved to systems where fire and emergency services’ levies are collected through charges on property value rather than insurance premiums.”
