Vic: Bushfires Royal Commission report tabled today
The Royal Commission's interim report into Victoria's bushfires will be released today.
The Victorian government has confirmed Justice BERNARD TEAGUE'S report will be tabled
in state parliament at 2.30 this afternoon (AEST).
Nationals Leader PETER RYAN has urged the government to act on all of the commission's
recommendations.
Lawyers for the commission have chastised the government for making major announcements
on bushfire policy before it delivered its interim report.
But Premier JOHN BRUMBY's been unrepentant about introducing new bushfire measures
ahead of the commission's findings.
