Because it's customary
to call them 'Acts of God'

1:01:03

There's a certain moral authority

1:01:07
- that exists only in the name of God?

1:01:11
He's knocked off your copyright,
haven't you, Mr. Piggot?

Record high temperatures, strong winds and electrical
storms are fanning bushfires in many parts of the state.

1:02:43
Steve Myers kept the pressure on today,

1:02:54
I quite liked you today, you know that?
1:02:59
What?
