Officials from The Bureau of Meteorology have put up a front when faced with a government grilling.
Appearing before a heated senate estimates hearing, its Chief Executive has defended the work of the Bureau, which is under pressure for its weather predicting capabilities.
The accuracy of the Bureau’s forecasts was called into question, particularly in relation to recent severe and costly weather events in Queensland.
Bureau of Meteorology Chief Executive Dr Andrew Johnson defended his staff, claiming their performance was “fantastic” during the events.
While he believes there have been adequate warnings for major weather events, he did admit the Bureau is looking at ways to better improve communication with people and communities.
