Abstract
The catastrophic fire season of 2019–20, described as
the "Black Summer", was Australia’s longest and most
severe fire season on record. In response, on 20 February
2020, the Commonwealth Government established a
Royal Commission into Australia’s Arrangements for
Responding to Natural Disasters ("the Royal Commission"). The Royal Commission has been conducted
alongside the second decadal review of the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth)
("the EPBC Act Review"), which commenced on
29 October 2019.
