It's hard to know, Fly:

We can all take out of the above whatever suits, but there are certainly points from both sides in both of the articles. While the fuel load isn't met, is the 'average fire risk' at or below 70%? (the 2018 DELWP report says this figure 65% in 2018)
Having a quick look at the VBRC recommendations (67 of them) and then the Implementation reports, most were considered complete/closed by the 2016 report. Closed does not necessarily mean implemented, as it includes the idea that circumstances can change, so it is no longer relevant, or a better/different solution can be implemented.
Where is the credit for much improved fire plans, warnings, management? Loss of life is tragic given that it is fire fighters this year that have died in their desire to protect, however, it is a much smaller number than it could have easily been.
This is such a complex puzzle and it is hard particularly when there is a lot of misinformation and everytime someone says something you have to go on a 'google worm' to start to make sense whether it is believable of not.
