Oz Burns ( Archived) (12)

I couldn't find it

I have a personal interest in this story

I genuinely feel for everyone trapped in this disaster, they need all the publicity they can get. And our prayers.

The latest theories are this is a direct result of climate change'

It is a very sad state of affairs I think, because the wild life are been killed numbering in the trillions:
Most of the fires burning are in the State & National Parks.
The State Parks log the forest and people who spent most of there young days in universities and now manage and trading in our trees without due diligence.

In 1990 Greens leader Bob Brown got pissed off with smoke haze created by Autumn Cold Burn Fires in Tasmania. So Bob Brown got then Prime John Howard to stop farmers right across Australia from conducting prudent cold fuel reduction burns.
In the first instance 1990 Government broadcast that if farmers or anyone else lit a fire he will be held responsible for damage to neighbouring properties.

In 1991 every State in Australia passed legislation forbidding rural communities from lighting fires bigger than one meter wide.

Local councils likewise, supported that legislation banning all burning off, which farmers had done for well over one hundred years and Aboriginal did for well over a 1000 years.

The current fires are mainly burning in forests however and private properties that are been burnt. Still today private properties can no longer fight fire with fire etc etc.

Beef produces were also banned from grassing the high country because cows fart, and pug the soil, even ants make tracks on the ground and we don't need the whole country being run by imbeciles, mainly lawyers and people who spent most of there young days fingering each other in universities and know everything much about anything in a practical sense.

In just one location here in Victoria, 4000 people were driven to the beach expecting to have to jump into the sea.
In the last couple of months the whole the East Coast NSW and Qld, also Victoria, South Australia and West Australia are or have been burning. Millions of hectors, millions of hectors fried. I posted images of the fires round here long (days before useful warnings were issued) people on the birding site evacuated areas near Lakes Entrance before the clowns warned anybody. I am sick of listening to the idiots on TV telling people in the bush what to do, when the emergency warning site maps are at least three days out of date. When warnings are issued and we cannot find out what they actually refer to, even when I phoned a bloke I know on a fire tower he didn't have a clue what the warning referred to.

This area was last burnt more 8 years ago; there have been property losses in this area to.
Over the last few years town after town has been burnt to the ground and the same idiots are still running the fire management services, they are talking crap on TV and are supported by the same halfwit political parties both state and federal who must take responsibility for the miss management because nothing is going to be done about it if the they keep blaming changing weather pattens.


And I am sick of the academic and political crap shirking public service responsibility (our servants) for what has just come out of the malpractice the lunatics from universities including political morons of all persuasions have brought upon the rural community right across this country over the past month.
