Manuka smoke-out will set a much-needed worrying precedent this Australian summer

At the time of writing this column, there were upwards of 250 bushfires burning to some level of advice and to some degree of containment around Australia. Almost one hundred of those were in New South Wales, and some of them have been or continue to be very nasty. Queensland and South Australia each accounted for another forty or so. Property loss has been extensive.

Remarkably, the only state or territory with no active fires burning at the time was the Australian Capital Territory, though that could change very quickly.
