Greens council 'green' policies are largely responsible for 100's of millions of native animals killed in these fires.

Eastern states firestorms [being the result of many, many Greens council ban's on fuel load reduction in rural areas], has killed 100's of millions of native animals - EXPERTS CLAIM 100'S OF MILLIONS HAVE BEEN KILLED.

Experts Estimate 480 Million Animals Killed in Australian Fires



We get bush-fires every summer.

Historically, we have had many, many catastrophic summer bush-fires.

And yes, this one will go down as probably the very worst.






No matter how hot the air is [in summer], a fire can not burn, if it has no fuel.

Summer fires can be manageable, with low fuel loads.

AND THAT IS      WHY     FUEL REDUCTION BURNS IN THE OFF-SEASON, SHOULD BE MANDATORY, IN RURAL AUSTRALIA !



Summer fires can be manageable, with low fuel loads.

That is why individual landholders are required by law, to ensure there are fire breaks around their property, before summer !

i.e.
SO THERE IS NO FUEL TO SPREAD A [POTENTIAL] FIRE, OVER PROPERTY BOUNDARIES.

NO FUEL TO BURN = = NO FIRE SPREAD.

True.

But.....

Q.
Do persons with green sympathies have majorities on many eastern states councils ?


Q.
Do many eastern states councils [dominated by political LEFTISTS] prohibit and ban [on ideological grounds] fuel load reduction burns within their jurisdictions ?


I ask, coz apparently there have been many complaints from eastern states landholders, that many local councils [stacked with 'Sea-change' and 'Tree-change' LEFTISTS] have been doing just that, for many years.

      COULD BE

      NOPE - 'CLIMATE CHANGE' - YES, IT DOES

      NOPE - AUSTRALIA HAS ALWAYS HAD DROUGHTS, SOME PARTICULARLY SEVERE






I encourage you to chase that info yourself.

they have been in local govt though   and thats where they wield their whips.... ... we do not have the dams this vast country needs    because the Greens  who also win votes at election time   make a huge scene about to environment   even though now thats exactly what we need    WATER..... you cant deny that barnacle...


even though they are not in govt  they do have a certain amount of POWER.....


and thats when the real govt has to do deals...

how so????   the greens control many councils who are responsible for burning off licencing. and tree removal.....   people who need to do either or both have had an uphill battle.......as you say we have had a small window to do this type of thing.......and yet it has to go through local councils....ask any farmer or local who has a large unsafe looking tree  on their property..?.....

I dont see how that off topic?..

We need more fire breaks. I've noticed since I moved to the bush that cleared land is bushfire resistant, no trees to burn, no firestorms, just a bit of grass

That doesn't mean we should clear all land, only enough to provide decent clearings to minimize fires jumping across and make it more manageable to fight fires

The fire breaks need to be wider than current laws say they've got to be though. If you've ever seen the cleared strips for electricity towers, that's what I mean

The less fires and the more isolated they are, the more the animals get a chance to survive

Christine Finlay has been sounding the alarm on bushfires in Australia for more than a decade after tracking the relationship ­between reduced cool burning and the frequency of firestorms. And the Queensland-based fire ­researcher, who charted a century of archival bushfire records for her PhD, has long been screaming danger.

Finlay’s thesis examined problem bushfires between 1881 and 1981. What she found after plotting the historical data on a graph was that there was a marked increase in the size and frequency of fires after 1919. This was when bushfire-reduction operations increasingly moved away from traditional indigenous practices such as low-­intensity cool burning.

Finlay says this ­detailed correlation between the accumulation of catastrophic fuel loads and the frequency of extreme bushfires made it possible to forecast the dramatic increase in firestorms we have seen in the 21st century.

“For years, I energetically sent this predictive model to government agencies, in particular bushfire services, the media, coronial and parliamentary inquiries and so on,” she says. “Horribly ­ignored, it proved horribly accurate.”

Finlay has the support of forester Vic Jurskis, who has written a book on fire stick ecology and how indigenous Australians managed the landscape with fire.

In an open letter to the Prime Minister, premiers, chief ministers and opposition leaders in November, Jurskis said this season’s ­bushfire situation was neither ­unprecedented nor unexpected.

“This latest holocaust is a direct consequence of unprecedented accumulation of 3D continuous fuels as a result of green influence on politics,” Jurskis says.

The Greens' policy of locking up national parks is the direct cause of every one of these catastrophic bush fires. Every single one occurs in national parks and spreads to villages and towns on the edge of those parks.

No surprise that this came from the Murdoch press
You do realise that Australia's population in 1919 was just 5 million. The fires weren't as dangerous because there were fewer people. There weren't 5,000 people holidaying at Malacoota for a start.

What this paragragh is basicly saying is that prior to 1919 indigenous land practices dominated because there were so few white people. After 1919 European land practices took over because of increasing European population. The Murdoch press have just put there own spin on it.
