Well Max, someone is not telling the truth.
The blacks used fire as part of their hunting proto-col, and lightening strikes were and still are the norm in this country, so I cannot take this 1939 report with any sense of confidence.
I will however listen to Joe (loudmouth) if he chooses to buy into this little debate.
As it stands for me, fires in this country are and have always been the norm, and once they start they keep going till they are stopped naturally, no matter how many acres or flora and fauna was torched.
So Joe, if your out there, I might ask if you would like to add some light to this 1939 Royal Commission report.

The Aboriginals used a much tinier patchwork method burning by the acre, not by tens or hundreds of hectares at a time.

Hazard Reduction has destroyed homes and so tougher polices are in place requiring 3 to 5 days AFTER the burn to also be favourably cool weather.

“Controlled burns do not remove all fuels from an area. And forests accumulate fuel at different rates - some return to their pre-burn fuel loads in as few as three years.”

________________________________
The Commissioner on Wednesday defended the RFS' record on hazard reduction burning, saying the agency was not comprised of "environmental bastards", indicating prescribed burns were done with the priorities of people, property and the environment in mind…
… "Hazard reduction burning is really challenging and the single biggest impediment to completing hazard reduction burning is the weather," Commissioner Fitzsimmons told ABC Breakfast.

It’s not that big a mystery, but is to do with how extra heat pushes weather and ocean systems around. They MODELLED this stuff and put it in the Garnaut report in 2008 that … “projections of fire weather "suggest that fire seasons will start earlier, end slightly later, and generally be more intense".

When asked how he feels over government inaction on climate change, Garnaut said:

"It's one of sadness, that I was ineffective. Having been given the opportunity to talk to Australians on this issue, that I was ineffective in persuading Australians that it was in our national interest to play a positive role in a global effort to mitigate the effects of climate change," he said.
However, Mr Garnaut said, "although things are bad, they will keep on getting worse if the concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere keep increasing".

But will Australians like Captain Grandpappy grumpy-pants listen to the science? Nope. Got an armchair to thump, My Word, they do!

Max, believe what YOU want, I believe what I know.
Stop going over the same old trash you've been posturing for as long as you've been here.
Enough already, you can carry on like some spoilt brat sh!tty that I won't come around to your bent and twisted, frankly unrealistic mantra, and I don't care what scientist or expert said, I've already told you a million times, I can counter every one of your points with counter points.
So you go ahead and believe that YOU are the ones who stuffed up the planet.
I do not, and until EVERYONE agrees on one final determination, and we remove money and incentives from this equation, I remain resolute in my convictions of what I KNOW to be the truth, not the facts.
So carry on breaking other peoples stones, you are if nothing else an annoying distraction.
But then some here will probably welcome your kind of entertainment.
I DON'T!

Mr Opinion, here's a real simple explanation of the situation. Firstly get a glass of water (at any ambient temperature above freezing or below boiling temperature) and place in it a block of ice from your ice cube tray. Secondly get another glass of water identical to the first one...hey let's get really scientific and actually use a measuring jug and put identical quantities of water in each glass for a joke. Observe what happens to the first glass when the ice block melts and mark the glass at the level. Lastly get the ice tray and fill one of the compartments to the same level you did to make the ice block and have it placed into the second glass of water. As old Professor Julius Sumner-Miller would exclaim: "Dictu mirabilis" (A miracle to note). Now Mr Opinion how is it that two identical quantities of water albeit in two different states (one liquid, one solid) added to two equal quantities of water cause flooding on Biblical (or is it GWA proportions ?) when their levels are identical? Mebbe there is perhaps a bit of jiggery pokery and a good degree of B-S going on behind Ms Thunderpants and her backers? Mebbe its the fact that continents "shift" over the Earth's tectonic plates causing some shift in the tidal height and datums recorded in the Littoral Zones. Oh "Global Warming" and "increased Carbon Dioxide levels" I hear the shrill retort. Ah yes the quantities of water will expand slightly as the temperature increases, but what then the effects on levels of salinity lowering or raising as the the temperature gradients slide in either direction? The so called Alarmist Science community has been resoundingly called out for fiddling the books. Surely, like the Creationists pick a 6,500 yr figure (The Noah Event) some now decide that 240 years is a sufficient time frame to base their "science" upon...what utter and complete balderdash Sir! The Climate Scientists are ignoring the basic law(s) of thermodynamics at the very least.

Aaaaawww, da paw wittle Altrav wants to be taken sewiously but can't find the dawta! Eeees a cuwtie wittle boy with da own beweifs.

Twelve years ago, economist Ross Garnaut made a prophecy that has devastatingly come true.

In the 2008 Garnaut Climate Change Review, which examined the scientific evidence around the impacts of climate change on Australia and its economy, he predicted that without adequate action, the nation would face a more frequent and intense fire season by 2020...

...But he noted: "If you ignore the science when you build a bridge, the bridge falls down."...

The total cost of the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires was estimated at $4.4 billion.

Conservative estimates put the final cost of the current Australian bushfires well into billions of dollars, while some analysts say it could cost the economy $20 billion in lost output.

Black Saturday was AWFUL in terms of the sheer loss of life.
But, as many here keep saying, human beings adapt.
We learn stuff. We figure out how things work, and although we've already caught the Black Saturday hectares burned, we've learned how to get out of the way better, and know how to evacuate towns faster. So the lives lost are at least down.

People are also learning to respect the climate science. Your generation are about to fall off their retarded coal-is-good perch, and make way for what should have happened a generation ago.

Cleaning up our energy system.

It's not my fault you hate science, that's your business.

But when you come to whining about "your beliefs" in a blogging contest, go home. Put up, or shut up. It's that simple.

Max, I don't know who you're taking the piss out of but you are a fool for carrying on like a fool, hows that for evidence.
Carrying on like you do has only relegated you to the corner of the classroom with your back to the class, so who's a whiny little whimp now?
I don't know if you're a man of age or a child of stupidity.
You carry on like the latter.
I knew I was right about you, now everyone knows what an arse hole you really are.
You are the epitome of the saying, "keep your mouth shut, and be thought a fool, rather than open it and have it confirmed".
Please keep on talking to yourself as I don't talk to people with delusions of grandeur and mental issues.
