"Issy, if a bushfire comes your way, just put up a sign "I didn't vote Green!". You'll be perfectly safe. After all according to Barnyard Joy the people who burn up in bushfires are Green voters."

Ya! Herr Arzt

Issy, Me thinks we should do some scientific experimentation into Barnyards theory to save us all from bushfires. How about the next time there is a big bushfire, we sit Barnyard on top of a 44 gallon drum of petrol in the path of the fire. I'm 99% sure Barnyard don't vote Green, I'm also 99% sure no harm will come to Barnyard. Should however Barnyard go up like the 4th July then the 1% comes into play, and we know that Barnyard has been a dirty rotten deceitful liar all these years, and has been secretly voting Green!

Well barnaby gets a run, but in truth he may have hurt his relationship with farmers
More and more are demanding action on climate change
Graas here, well looked after garden and lawn, is dead to the very roots in some places
Three meters outside my fence that drain ,20 m2 of dead tree and leaves, one match and my home and three others? gone ise mise
The saddest thing? plenty would set that fire without blinking
True but not popular view some few but some, firefighters are fire bugs, start fires to look like heros, we will by summer's end hear more about that
My first fire, first I fought? eleven years old, near the only male there, small country town women fought until men could get home from work
We got jam sandwiches and hot tea as a reward and weeks after saw our self in action on 8mm film shot by scoutmaster

Paul,

Methinks we should start cutting down gum trees as a means of reducing hazards; does that fit in with the Greens' Hazard Reduction policy?

Issy, my wife was reading our posts last night, she wants to know what asylum we all come from? She specifically asked "who is this Dizzy person you talk to?"

I said; "No he's not Dizzy, he's Issy, although by some of his posts you might think he is dizzy. Issy is a 97 year old ex-hippy from Nimbin, who left the commune in 1968, because the other hippies wouldn't let him shoot fury little woodland creatures."

The wife's reply; "As I said, what asylum do you and your forum mates come from!"

Paul,

Is cutting down and removing hazardous and flammable trees from around dwellings not a good idea?

If not, why not?
