Dear HenryL.,

I'll be speaking to my son this evening and will
find out what he's been told.

He's pre-booked everything - so I'm not sure how
that will pan out. They'll not be camping out,
but staying in hotels. Anyway, I'll find out tonight
what he's been advised to do. As you point out -
it's still a week away.

just imagine a tenth of the money that has been wasted on this gw fraudulent faith had of been spent on real environmental issues. We could probably eat off the streets.

No back-burning, no control when the fires do arrive ! Charge those idiots who ban sensible people from back burning with damages !

Dear runner,

The report posted talked of numerous fires not a large one at all. 1953 does not even feature in the list of historical bushfires in the state.

The two major fires have currently chalked up over 100,000 hectares already and the tally is likely to climb further.

Dear Hasbeen,

Mate you really need to stop being so bloody hypocritical. If you had posted about the fires in a general sense you would have gotten a completely different reaction. You instead decided to single out blame by rehashing your normal agenda of blaming the 'greenies'.

“The incredibly poor maintenance of our parks, & an ideology wanting to keep thick impenetrable scrub in them is fostering much of these fires.”

Then when people point out the elephant in the room you get all huffy saying “God these warmists are disgusting.”

So what you are really saying is 'let me run with my agenda but I will tear strips off anyone who does the same'.

Well it doesn't work like that in the real world old chum. You serve it and you will get it returned even if it is unseemly behaviour by both of us given the trauma facing many of those impacted.

How about we both pull our heads in.

Dear SteeleRedux,

The sad part is that all of the predictions of the climatologists are starting to come true and they are happening a lot sooner than the climatologists predicted. We could be reaching some of those tipping points in the next few years.

I predicted that parts of northern NSW and southern Queensland would become dust bowls and it looks like there is a good chance of that happening over the next few years. If strong winds keep blowing after these current bushfires have abated they will more then like carry away all of the nutrients of the burnt vegetation leaving a barren landscape in which virtually nothing will grow unless supported by irrigation.

'The sad part is that all of the predictions of the climatologists are starting to come true and they are happening a lot sooner than the climatologists predicted'

what you mean bushfires, flood and drought. You obviously have only heard the history of Australia in terms of white invasion. Have no no sense at all.
