Pause

As once and future Victorians, we share the shock and disbelief of many about the terrible bushfires that devastated much of that State on Saturday. We can't yet be certain that we don't know anybody who has been directly affected by the fires (although at this stage we are quietly hopeful that we don't) but it is highly likely that many of our friends and relatives will either know, or know of, somebody who was, and our thoughts are with you all.
