This is the other side of it.
The NSW gov, has cut the budget to the RFS & the Fire and Rescue Services. it has just been the fact that Scomos F@#K up have been so spectacular they have dominated.
Gladys and her mates have cut the budget, see the article I posted above. Figures are correct.
The NSW Emergency Services Minister david Elliot went on holidays to Europe around the same time as Scomo was in Hawaii.

But at least when he got back he put his hand up and said I F@#KED up, not make stupid excuses like Scomo.
Gladys has been there from the begining trying to lead, doing what she can. Her mistakes (like cutting the budget) will come out in the wash when this crisis is over. Those discussion are for another day when the danger has passed.
For now she is doing all she can.
Scomos inaction has effects now. It has cost properties and lives.
