Your daily reminder that policies based on individual compliance are doomed to fail because people are people and none of us are compliant with anything 100%

This is a great example of the compliance issue Most of these fires, you see, were not arson - they were accidental. People starting fires that they were sure they could control (against the rules) that got out of control

Campers, farmers, etc, all sure they were the exception to the rule and causing massive property damage and loss of life

Point is, most people probably didn't break the rules. Most campers adhere to regulations, most places fires didn't break out But those few that did were immensely destructive

Which is the point - even with regulation it's hard to create a situation where ~everyone~ complies with a directive So if your idea relies on that happening, it's probably not going to work

Not so sure this is the best comparison. Most of the 2019-2020 bushfires were started by lightning. https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp1920/Quick_Guides/AustralianBushfires …

It depends how you count it I think. The majority of the bigger fires were started by lightning, but if you just look at the number of fires started either way I think it's about 50/50
