Porky,

Along with many others, the Greens do not believe that a woman, alone at a homestead in the bush, should have access to a firearm for self-protection from man or beast, she is required to keep it and the ammo under lock and key in separate approved containers, that's the law and that is bad enough if she needs a gun in a hurry.

But the Watermelons go even further and would restrict her more than the law, requiring:
"26. Enforcement of regulations requiring guns in homes in rural communities to be kept in a metal box with a combination lock securely bolted to wall or floor, with firing mechanisms and ammunition locked in a similar box in a separate room;"

Why the separate room requirement and what to do about firearms that do not have separate firing mechanisms?

Come on, Porky, tells us why the Greens see these requirements being necessary for womwn staying alone in the bush?

People will have to stop burning all the fossils, otherwise we will be out of dinosaur bones very soon. Not to mention all the old forum fossils who are always going up in flames!

ALTie, Joe, Indy, Hassy, Issy, not to mention ttbn who's always fired up!

Paul,

Is that the sum-total of your knowledge about CO2 and fires ? Bones don't burn except at very high temperatures.

Which is strange, because so much of bone is made up of Carbon, in fact the dreaded CO2.

BAN CARBON NOW ! Or at least by this Friday.

Of course, in intense fires, the bones of cute, little, furry animals probably do just about vaporise, thanks to ...... somebody's incompetent reduction-burn policies.

Joe

It's now quite obvious that the AGW denialists are unable to demonstrate in their own words that AGW is not the only probable cause of global warming that can be correlated with the rise in mean global temperature over the past 240 years.

This is where all their nonsense talk about the burning of fossil fuels not being the singular cause of global warming over the past 240 years falls down.

Going by today's Newspoll it appears that Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison has fallen on his own sword. People are starting to wake up to the fact that the AGW denialists have been pulling the wool over their eyes.

Interesting thing is that Soot is now acknowledging climate change as the cause of the 2019/20 bushfire catastrophe because his political career is now on the line but refuses to acknowledge that the burning of fossil fuels has been the cause of the climate change which has led to the catastrophe.

I think it's because deep down he JUST DOES NOT CARE if Australia is a victim of the dangerously high levels of greenhouse gases being emitted by China, US, EU, Russia, Japan and India. Just the same way that Shadow Minister, Loudmouth, mhaze, Hasbeen, individual, runner, and the other usual suspects do not care about Australia being the victim of AGW.

A very good policy indeed Issy. The real problem with unrestricted "loaded guns in the house", the policy you and the other far right nutters, the Shooters and Hooters Party, which you claimed founding membership of, want....Its not a problem of a stranger creeping up to the back door and having his way, not a all, that's a extremely rare occurrence in the scheme of things, as you well know. With loaded guns in the house, accidental shooting, and shooting in anger of family members is far more likely.

Do you agree with accidental shooting, and shooting in anger in domestic situations?

Lets cut to the chases on this gun business you continually raise. You have no interest in the so called protection of the vulnerable, but have a lot of interest in getting your rocks off through unrestricted access to firearms. The vulnerable are simple pawns to be exploited by the gun brigade as a means to an end.

STOP PRESS! STOP PRESS!

Just saw on the news that the LNP have always been pushing for action on climate change. Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' has video.

But apparently they won't go as far as taking action on human induced climate change, which I assume is because they simply do not believe that such a thing can exist.

This is where Barnaby Joyce should jump up and down screaming 'It's Labor's fault, it's all Labor's fault! I don't care! I don't want government in my life anymore! But just keep sending my pay cheque to the usual address!'
