What is needed now is : What can be done to thwart the fire intensity ?
Afaik the only positive is HAZARD REDUCTION , AS RECOMMENDED BY ALL THE ROYAL COMMISSIONS. The only positive from the 5 R/C's no one acts on R/C'c . We could save about 4 Million not having another one , we need to heed what was learnt earlier .
We urgently need to get rid of all the fanatical thugs employed by the Gov't to control Forrest's , National Parks . Two issues are working against any sanity in Fire Control , One is the virulent hatred of Country People , people who have been kicked out of the Forrest's Nat Parks where their families have holidayed since 1888 .
Can you imagine the riot and Political indignation if these Thugs behaved the same way on Melbourne Beaches .
The other issue is people harboring bad feelings towards these Thugs . They might be tempted towards some illicit backburning , something we can do without .
Forrest's have been turned into National Parks , no logging or Cattle are allowed , Only Fanatics who treat our Country People like dirt .
The Thugs treat our Forrest's badly too , they are totally ignorant of the ecology of a Forrest , A classic is Barmah , take a visit decide for yourself , take a book with you called , 'A Rivermans Story' by E.M.'Mick' Kelsall ISBN 0 85091 247 4 In this book you will learn about a working RedGum Forrest unlike the fiasco it is now . Figure out for yourself why the Forrest looks so bad , check out the Steel Posts (100 x 100 RHS)concreted in the ground filled with concrete , adjoined by heavy chain , grotesque Adolf invention reflects the Thugs attitude to people who have camped there since the 1880's , these barriers fence off the only high ground on the river . Do you really expect the Thugs to allow Back burning and thinning .
