Black Saturday Royal Commission

How many fire fighting planes and/or appliances could we buy for the cost of this Royal Commission? Even just for the cost of lead counsel? Given that Black Saturday was a one off and uncontrollable event where it seems no human interference could have changed the result, why is it taking so long and so much of our money to decide who was responsible for managing it when it was clearly unmanageable? I am confused. Does this witch hunt actually serve any purpose other than to unearth a few management blunders from overtly stressed people? Perhaps the lawyers and Commissioners involved in this gravy train should purchase ‘Elvis III’ and donate it to Victoria from just part of their earnings.
