Well said. Its about time we woke up to the Follie of irresponsible Green bureaucrats and activists, which live in the chardonnay-sipping, avocado-toast, double-decaff-soya milk latties inner city "spaces". Fires need fuel, green bureaucrats and activists have provided this fuel. I hope the forthcoming inquiries into this season puts the focus squarely on the impact of greenies, and not accept their erroneous claims that it is all down to climate change. They are clearly liable for this and need to be brought to account to prevent future uncontrollable fires and any future losses of life, particularly among the volunteer fire fighters.

Here here; I hope our politicians have learnt a very expensive lesson.
Not much else to say, just get on as soon as possible and clear up
those parks etc that have not already been burnt.

It's all been said before, with no effect. The people who could do something all have their heads up their own backsides.

Yeah
How good is this smoke?
FOREVER!

The blame game ay!

You'd be equally accurate to blame the fires on the "Bossa Nova".

Was it the moon? No no. The Bossa Nova
Or the stars above? No no. The Bossa Nova

Nature will take care of things. As it does, as it will and as it must. Puny man is no match for Mother Nature. Where is the proof that Aboriginals burnt every bit of theAustralian bush? That's an absurdity.

Also a rural landowner. Agree entirely with the article.
Not expecting any sensible movement after the current fire period.
Too many would have to admit they were wrong.
"Greenies" get the blame but the state takeover of all land has come from state and federal legislation and the bureaucracies that exist to apply it.
Harder still for the current federal government considering the EPBC act and forest lockups for Kyoto were fruits of the howard gov'.
