Final Report on the National Forum to Reduce Deliberate Bushfires in Australia
On 25 March 2009, the Commonwealth Attorney-General for Australia called together a group of experts to discuss greater national collaboration in bushfire arson prevention. The forum drew together examples of bushfire arson prevention and education initiatives and identified national priorities for action for the prevention of bushfire arson.
It was recognised that the key to reducing and preventing bushfire arson is maximising cooperation between fire agencies, police, social services, the criminal justice system, and all levels of Government. The report presents a range of measures to ensure the strongest possible action is taken to prevent and deter arson.
