I used to call them Western Powerless, for obvious reasons. Now I would call them Western Arsonists. Why does the management and board of Western Power get away with repeatedly destroying properties and lives? Doesn't the new law apply to them?

Quote from Albany Advertiser 9 March 2010:
"Albany's chief bushfire control officer claims Western Power's infrastructure is outdated. It comes amid revelations that 18 fires have been caused by power lines in the Great Southern since Christmas. [...] On Christmas Day, fire-fighters were called to two fires in Redmond started by power lines. [...] Jerramungup and Narrogin have also been confirmed as scenes of Western Power fires. Three fires started in four days from suspected power line problems in Mt Barker two weeks ago."

I think the new report on the causes of the Toodyay Fire is another strong indication that we really have a problem on our hands with an insufficiently maintained, unsafe and fire-prone electricity grid. Someone must be responsible for this. Who else but Western Power? And if Western Power is responsible for starting so many fires, why isn't Western Power management prosecuted under the applicable law(s)?
