I don't think the greenies have anything to do with it. All your evidence posted to date proves so.
oops now it is not the Grees with a capital "G" but greenies witha small"g".
And you ignore Miranda Devine's piece. But perhaps you have something concrete to rebut what she said? Media Watch? Anything?

If you read Divine's opinion piece, you'd see no evidence of what she's talking about. She didn't even give the councils a standard right of reply.
You mean they couldn't complain to the media counsel? Why not it was a public printing?

You may recall a series of findings to come out of the Black Saturday fires in Victoria - 2 years after Divine's puff piece.
Yes.
"In its final week, the commission looked at the fuel-reduction burns in Bendigo and Gippsland. As it turned out, none of the 51 recommendations the commission handed down dealt with fuel reduction, but there was significant public concern that something more should have been done."
"In a guest editorial for Australian Forestry, Michael Ryan, one of the victims who lost houses in Bendigo and who works in forestry, said that Victorian authorities need to "manage fuels appropriately in diverse forest types, and residents at the rural-urban interface need to be properly prepared—and on 7 February the reality is that many were not." "

So much for the Royal Commission.

Fire prevention is managed by fire brigades and emergency services.
But they need permission to enter national parks.

As you point out, controlled burning and the response to bushfires is led by the states, with no "greenie" infiltration whatsoever.
So "greenie" NWPS denying access at Dubbo didn't happen because you can't corroborate it?
So you've gone from Greens to greenie to the National Parks and Wildlife Service, have you?
I must say, I liked your argument that firewood collectors being banned from national parks is a major obstacle to bushfire prevention. That was a pearler.
The emergency services claim the major problem is farmers storing feed for animals in a drought - nobody's fault, of course, but it shows how lame your Greens to greenies to national parks excuse is.
The fires have spread because of drought, due to global warming. The Greens have been warning of this for years. It's the message the fire chiefs took to Canberra, and if you want to blame greenie park rangers and cite 12 year old Miranda Divine columns, you're perfectly free to do so.
Gonads and Aquascoot aren't any the wiser, but the rest of us can have a jolly good chuckle.
