Temperature 44-47 degrees celsius. Middle of summer. Winds up to 100km/h. Countryside bone dry. Perfect weather for the arsonist to ply his trade.
A couple of days later and 181 people lay dead with a death toll expected to reach 300. This is the greatest loss of life since the Ash Wednesday bushfires which claimed 75 lives. I seem to recall seeing the smoke from those fires as they weren't too far away.
Not all of the deaths occurred due to arson but police suspect that there could be 30 people has died as a result of one arsonist-lit fire alone.
It's quite senseless. And so is the fact that anyone found guilty of lighting a fire deliberately and causing loss of any life is not able to be put to death. I don't think there is a place in our society for these people and we should not have to pay anything to maintain them in jail, even if it is for the rest of their life.
Bring back the death penalty. It won't bring anyone back but the arsonist certainly won't have the opportunity to ruin anyone else's life.
