Many of the people who died acted on official advice to stay in their homes
今朝のＢＢＣ Radio Scotland ジャニス・フォーサイス女史の番組（トム・ジョーンズ御大が前半のゲストでしたが）を聴いていたところ、途中のニュースで昨年2月に豪ビクトリア州であった山火事災害について流れました（現地時間11:00頃）。
英スコットランドと豪ビクトリア州とは姉妹都市関係にあるからかな、と思って調べたところＢＢＣではちゃんと取り上げています。日本ではＴＶはもちろん新聞でも取り上げられないニュースですが、ひょっとしてどこかで流れたのかな。

Commission draws to a close
http://www.royalcommission.vic.gov.au/
The Commissioners presented their final report to the Governor of Victoria, Professor David de Kretser AC on the morning of 31 July 2010. The report was then presented to the Premier and tabled in Parliament, making it available to the public. You can view the report here. Alternatively, you can order copies from the Victorian Government via Victoria Online or by phoning 1800 463 684. This means that the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission has now concluded its task, and ceased to operate. Thank you to all of those who contributed to the work of the Commission.
