By Brendan O'Reilly, published 24/1/2020The 'State of the Parks 2004' report, said that, in more than 90 per cent of NSW national parks, attempts to manage weeds and pest animals were non-existent, non-effective, or producing only a slow change.

I'm not disagreeing with you. What i'm on about is that with the present mentality of addressing the Bushfire & other natural disasters, the most effective way is cold burning. The suggestion to mow the understory is fine however, considering that the most bush is on mountain slopes & valleys etc. makes mowing impossible or at the least extremely difficult. Also, thick undergrowth is where much of the wildlife gets tangled & can't escape the flames.
What I'm getting at is, let's take action with the will & method available & clear the mostly introduced undergrowth now ! Waiting for the "experts" to come up with yet more investigations & whilst the undergrowth is building up again for the next disastrous fire season, is what caused the problems in the first place. We need to act now because we can't afford to wait for the "experts" to see practical reason !
