Sorry, but population of Victoria is ~7 million, + tourists on top of that, so it's probably fair to say that there are at least 50 million lithium-ion "devices" in Victoria, with "most" of them being charged most days.

Compared to how many candle, gas, fat, petrol, bush ... fires
Please forgive me if I don't get too concerned!
