The point that I was making is that the reason the CEO of the Country Fire Authority was so roundly criticised was that there was information available to him which he did not avail himself of. That is the criticism, and that will be the criticism of us in this chamber if we make this decision precipitously. We have the time and if we do not avail ourselves of the information we will quite rightly be criticised by this community. To move before the rest of the world is not the right way to go.
