you would think and hope that after 40 years Prof Bradstock would have at least come up with a solution if burning off is not one of them

maybe the good Prof should talk to property owners  who  quite often get fined huge sums for daring to remove trees..... last I heard people went to enormous trouble to get a licence to clear.. just about anything...

maybe he lives in a ivory tower!!!....

Scott Morrison has flagged a major rewrite to rules covering hazard reduction, land clearing and where homes can be built following the devastating fires that have ravaged Australia since September.

Speaking to the media in Sydney today the Prime Minister specifically linked climate change and the requirement for reforms.

Mr Morrison said there was “a need to address issues around hazard reduction for national parks, dealing with land clearing laws, zoning laws and planning laws around people’s properties and where they can be built in countries like Australia, up and down the coast”.

“That being the case with the climatic effects of what we are seeing, there are many restrictions around those effects that have to be reviewed on the basis on the broader climatic effect we are seeing in this country,” Mr Morrison said.

The PM said there were “many contributing factors” to the fire season, none more significant than the drought which had “created a tinderbox around the country” and seen “these fires run for long periods of time, particularly when there is no dousing rain that has normally followed.”

The issue of “fuel loads” was also “very clear”, Mr Morrison said.

“That has been a constant source of feedback by those on the ground,” he said.

“Issues in national parks and issues of hazard reduction and how that has worked over a period of time, that needs to be looked at undoubtedly.”


in between bouts of drought and bushfires we become complacent...its an aussie thing...

Should that be Greenie vegans?

This is the only tree your average  Greenie sees.

How many more homes?" wrote Smith. "How many more acres of destroyed forest and bushland? How many more lives? How much more do we need to endure until you Muppets realise you f**ked up?"

Smith, who volunteers his time as a rural firefighter in Queensland, said that every time there is a disaster like this, "thousands of people like myself drop what we are doing and go to work. We put ourselves in harm's way so that another family can have a house to sleep in."

The "authority figures that have stood for environmental protection" over the past five years are "directly responsible for this devastation", Smith wrote.

"The fuel loading we are seeing out on the ground is ridiculous. We are looking at 5-10 years of growth, this fuel source is making these fires untouchable, we can't even get near them to fight them."
