//Sadly, no more, it's now worth a possible $5,000 fine for collecting dead wood along a road, with the exception of collecting near Council provided fireplaces for immediate use.//

If a person collects a fallen tree in a forest and no council stickybeaks are there to see it, do they cop a fine?

$5000,- for taking fire fuel from the side of the road ? This is insanity plus !
Councils should encourage people to clear the scrub of this highly dangerous stuff. Since the morons have stopped back-burning & preventative burning the whole of the bush is now a literal powder keg just waiting for a tinder-dry blade of grass brushing against a hot exhaust pipe.
Then it'll be cries of everything from blame to victimhood.

AC yes cheaper now got 4kw on feedback, it cost more than brand new 6 would today
Fire wood? stupid fools but watch the bush fires see how truly silly it is

Hey Armchair Critic, you might like this one.

We were crazy enough to try to earn a living raising cattle in wide bay. It was during the kafuffle on Frazer Island, when they turned a good plantation timber industry into a fire hazard.

My father in law, who could be a rough old bloke at times was visiting us, at the time when greenies were burying themselves in the tracks.

He wrote a letter to the Maryborough paper with the slogan, "Help fertilize Australia. Burry a greeny today".

I never could figure out why they didn't publish it.

They should really be called Brown instead of Green in order to more resemble the substance they dish out. Their original leader had at least the right name.

The good news about the Greens is that they are being "struck" at the ballot box. (See far-left Victorians opted for Labor over them in the trendy seats) Their leading looney was kicked out of the senate the other day - he'll have to be sedated or strapped to the bench soon they way he carries on. Then there's sobbing-more-often SHY. I'm surprised that they have lasted as long as they have without being sectioned. If the federal election result is anything like the Victorian one, the Labor government won't need the support of the idiots, which should lead to a saner Labor government that doesn't need to pander to the demands of lunatics to get get legislation through. There's a chance that we might see a less extreme Labor if they don't have to toady to the Greens.
