PERTH — An emergency council meeting was convened at 11.20am on Thursday to discuss the sunshine, and by the time members had agreed the agenda, it was over.
“The system worked,” said an official. “We met. We monitored. The sun left. That’s a textbook response.” A motion to “do something about it next time” was passed unanimously.
