How much taxpayer-funded equipment and personnel are we willing to pay for to have sitting around waiting for natural disasters to happen, and, if that's not sufficient, how much degradation of primary ADF roles are we willing to accept to have them responding to these occurrences?
Yes, it's not like bushfires don't happen every year in Australia!
I wonder if flying low level, poor vis, in uncomfortable and dangerous wind conditions around bush fires would be of any benefit to a crew member who finds himself in low level, poor viz and uncomfortable and dangerous wind conditions in Afghanistan?
