Runner, comment on my blog. I am not interested, nor am I invested, in your problem with either the ABC, or the greenies, or other shadow organisations of the left. I vote, and I have a right to an opinion. That is what my article is; an opinion, and I have a right to one. Why don't you try writing an article yourself, and don't forget the fact-checking.

Memo to individual: "This Buckley mutt has got Buckley's to come across as a decent citizen ! What an eaten-up by jealousy vindictive git !"
You should try reading the article, and you should exhibit civility, even if you disagree. That way you will convince us that you are capable of civility, and worthy of a hearing.
Otherwise you present yourself as an empty vessel, making a lot of noise.
You have never met me, nor, I guess, have you even heard about me. So I am at a loss as to your personal animosity. However, I will struggle manfully on. As I have re-iterated several times today, my article is an opinion piece, nothing more.

It is about time that all those blaming AGW for the fires and the
Federal governments policies got up to date on the science on global
warming and fire characteristics.
Keep up with it.

the more I read your blog the more I see my first reponse being accurate.

Military Aid to the Civil Power ("calling in the military") is a Federal Government responsibility that Morrison could have triggered months sooner. An example of Aid to the Civil Power was using military aircraft during the 1989 Australian civilian pilots' dispute. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_aid_to_the_civil_power#Australia

Morrison could have called out the military months ago to feed communities made remote by fire, detect and chart the fire fronts, bury disease spreading animal carcases and especially use those $Billion Canberra/Adelaide class LHDs [1] and cheaper HMAS Choules [2] to supply and evacuate people in danger much sooner.

People in Mallacoota, Batemans Bay and Ulladulla could have used the services of our Federal Government's Navy big ships, RAAF and Army aircraft much sooner.

askbucko,

That article is an opinion ? I suggest you look up the definition of the word !
