Here is a basic question: Would it be possible to assume that deliberately setting fires in Australia could eventually become an efficient tool of pyro-terrorism in the future?
The Spectator Australia is not suggesting terrorism has been a motive for any of this season’s fires here. Until any of the current alleged Australian arsonists have been thoroughly investigated, charged and been subject to due process, it is self-evidently impossible to ascribe any specific motives to them, so this argument must by definition be entirely hypothetical.
