By Mark Poynter, published 2/6/2014

The alleged mismanagement of a major bushfire in Victoria's East Gippsland is largely a reflection of us reaping what environmental activists have sown.

Wonder if the greenies are, in fact, to blame.

BTW the name "Redwood" is uncannily appropriate to the issue*

I've also heard of:

- a Dentist called - Dr Phang,

- and an Opthamoligist called - Dr Wong See

You give a lot of credit to loggers for reducing fire risk but the only evidence you show is that they kept the tracks open.
Fighting fires from bush tracks is inherently dangerous which is why it has in the main been stopped.
In many instances it is not the loss of loggers that has caused deterioration of fire trails it is the actions of 4wheel drivers.
From what you say it is not more loggers we need but more parks, fire and land management staff.
Exactly what the evil greenies have always advocated.

The restrictions on burn backs and bush clearances around dwellings is a well known contributor to ferocity, property and loss of life of the fires when they occur

Many natural disasters in Australia are amplified by the sabotaging of prevention by bureaucrats & academic experts & a mix of both, the Greens.
