The fires were a result of a cyclic weather event that occurs every 30 years or so when dry hot weather predominates as it has many times in the past.
Unfortunately the sick diseased Greenies had banned the clearing of undergrowth and so we got the big fires.
These big fires have occurred before in most states and so it is just a natural recurring weather event.
Trying to get the sick diseased Greenies off the hook by lying about the non existent Climate Change SCAM is just blatant fraud.
The Aboriginies reckon the white fella is downright stupid allowing the huge amount of undergrowth to build up.
But it was the sick diseased Greenies who weevilled their way into councils and BANNED the clearing of undergrowth who are the GUILTY PARTY!!!!! GUILTY of burning Australia to the ground!!!!!
Wonder how many votes they will get at the next election now that people HATE and DESPISE these horrible brutes.
Have you ever bothered to fact check that?
Can you list any policy that the Green have implemented that support your claim and would, it seems, after a simple google search, be in counter to their own party platform?
Quote:Bushfires, Hazard Reduction and Backburning
The Australian Greens support hazard reduction burns and backburning to reduce the impact of wildfire when guided by the best scientific, ecological and emergency service expertise.
https://greens.org.au/bushfiresI look forward to your proof to back up your claims, lest they be exposed as your usual lies.
We can look at the facts quickly. We know where your claims come from. The chief accuser is Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce who says “greens policy” gets in the way “of many of the practicalities of fighting a fire and managing it”.
Among Joyce’s claims, the main one is that Greens policies have made hazard reduction activities more difficult.
This claim, just to be clear, is about the policies of a party that has never been in government.
You realise that right Juliar?
Joyce also blamed the Greens for “paperwork” that made it harder to carry out hazard reduction activities.
According to Ross Bradstock, senior professor, School of Earth, Atmospheric and Life Sciences, University of Wollongong, Joyce’s claims are familiar but “without foundation.”
“It’s simply conspiracy stuff. It’s an obvious attempt to deflect the conversation away from climate change.”
Former NSW fire and rescue commissioner, Greg Mullins, has written this week that the hotter and drier conditions, and the higher fire danger ratings, were preventing agencies from carrying out prescribed burning.
He said: “Blaming ‘greenies’ for stopping these important measures is a familiar, populist, but basically untrue claim.”
So the effect of climate change is having a greater effect than the non-existent one from the Greens in terms of preventing hazard reduction burns.
Please, if you have any evidence whatsoever to back up your claims about the Green, please share.
