bilby commented on the word neighbourhood safer places
"Speaking at a Law Institute of Victoria lunch, Mr Teague said questions about the terminology used by government and fire services continued to concern him.
He criticised the term neighbourhood safer places, a key aspect of policy proposed by the State Government that will designate certain areas as possible refuge points for people to use as a last resort during a fire.
'It isn't the sort of terminology which I think is likely to resonate with people but 'safer' is so much better than 'safe',' he said, 'because we don't want to have people have the notion that it is safe.'"
