After the Chilean earthquake there was a tsunami warning issued for the Pacific rim and while most countries evacuated and took it seriously ... the majority of Australians did not.

People flocked to the beaches because the sun was out for the first time in days, it was a weekend and people just don't seem to take warings seriously downunder. Surf lifesavers were told to close the beaches and clear the surf but were abused by the public who didn't want to comply and thought it was all unnecessary overkill.

The problem dismayed authorities so much that the government is considering involving police and defense force personal to force people to obey warnings next time.

Hey even I admit I've ignored the warning on medication bottles not to drive or operate heavy machinery when taking it. How about you ... do you take warnings seriously? Chck out the podcasts below from last Sunday's show.
