tis article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/09/australia-fires-natural-disaster has also copped a lot of criticism. i personally think it's patronising, factually incorrect and incredibly insensitive. basically the writer is completely fucking wrong, despite having the beginnings of a couple of good points.
