ABC radio talk back program last night was sensible too. Gave people with the necessary knowledge a fair go. It showed proper concern and sympathy as well as well-considered expert opinions.
Think I might start watching and listening again.
open mike my thoughts were with you again too.
We're sharing knowledge, USA and Australia, I notice. A program I saw recently was excellent. The Californian fire-fighter (he had other related qualifications) began by saying that knowledge of a specific region was the first step and then went on to give his expert opinion on the changing nature of wild fires. He spoke about complex ecosystems that are our forests, building and living in fire-prone areas, the effects of climate change, fighting fires....
So important that we listen to the right people.
