Aidan,

Just drive along any road in northern NSW and note the dead timber lying among the usual gumtree litter.

It is an offence, punishable by heavy fines, to remove any of this litter and dead wood from the roadside; there was a time when local councils encouraged people to remove firewood from the right of way, but a Labor government, seeking Green support banned the collecting of firewood along the roadsides.

Then there was a hurried scramble to amend the legislation when it was discovered that travellers, availing themselves of the Government provided fireplaces at parking areas were breaking the law by collecting a bit of wood with which to cook a meal.

runner,

Yes. Shameless. But worse - brainless.

Aiden well yes sorry there is endless evidence that the greens [mostly those who support them, not the party stop winter burns]
Now yes it is far too dry this and the last few years to do it in any case
Right back to the Franklin River birth of the greens I saw what I thought was a true conservation party
This ALP foot soldier even handed out their how to votes, in fact while I said I would not, I directed their voters to their how to votes sitting on the ground at a unmanned booth
Election 2019 was a lesson for me, one I would not admit had been coming for at least six years
Working men, our once back bone, abused me, told me the greens owned the ALP, even ,true, threatening to let a wife walk home if she took my how to vote
The outburst that coal use bought about these fires was the pot calling the kettle black
Dreamers we know as greens, often, do stop controlled burning, time my party drew a line and stands on its own environmental record not the greens

Coal, a truth needs talking about, like it or not use in its current form has a limited future
And too renewables ARE becoming a very big part of power and is the future, but stop using or selling coal now?
Come on, others will sell even dirtier coal, not one single reduction in carbon would result
Realistically demanding we do so is madness
In Labor heartland, a 20 percent swing, TO ONE NATION gave a view of what voters think about ending coal use
Look for achievable change, promote better behaviors but force such lunacy?
Momentum is with renewables with a future end to coal, but forcing it is not wise

Dear Belly,

I reckon keep burning all the coal, oil and gas until it's exhausted. I want to see how hot we can make the planet. I reckon we should be able to turn Australia into another Sahara where it no longer rains and it's so hot nothing can live in it. And as ScuMo will then tell you: Blame on Labor!

Belly,

The main target of the greens is not the libs it is the Labor party and I consider it one of the primary reasons that Labor lost the last election.

The greens are targeting the labor seats which essentially tears labor in half in that they have to protect their rump by adopting some of the more fruity green's policies while trying to promote the exact opposite in working class areas. The Adani issue was prime example.
