The report stated that 'some 80,000 ha of national park were destroyed by a wildfire ignited by the turbine debris' and gave an Australian Broadcasting Commission report as a reference. In fact, the ABC Net site referred to mentions a blaze that "consumed more than 70 hectares" and did not mention wind turbines at all. In fact it was referring to another fire that happened four years after the turbine fire.
