For many Australians, 2020 has been the worst year in living memory. First bushfires and now a pandemic. Covid 19 has taken our attention away from the destruction of the bushfire. Many victims are still homeless with little money filtering through.

For the people who lost their houses, we want answers.

So this week I spoke with Lake Conjola resident Peter Dunn. In many ways the community was fortunate that Peter and his wife Lindy were there to lead the Conjola recovery centre.

The ex army major general lived in Canberra during the 2003 bushfires and was the commissioner for ACT emergency services. From there, he went onto consult for disaster relief around the world.

He was also a member of the ex fire chiefs who warned the government of impending fire disaster a year ago.
