We should have put together a Squadron of 12 Hercules fire retardant bombers a long time ago.

Base them in Alice Springs or Broken Hill, moth balled but ready to go any summer. Wouldnt have cost alot either.


:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: That sounds dangerously like COMMON SENSE.

After they killed off the Mega Fauna the remaining lush forests rapidly declined into the eucalyptus dominated bush land we are used to now, their fires also didn't help. combination of a loss of canopy bearing trees, micro climates therein and subsequent rainfall combined with unseasonable fires (lit by humans), caused the mass erosion of some areas that further affected rainfall. its nothing to do with "climate change" but it is in part to blame on mankind.

:wtf: > Enter Pauline,,,,,, "PLEASE EXPLAIN" ?

The land was managed successfully for how long, before white fellahs arrived ?? (and without changing major waterways or drainage)

We are always going to have bushfires but with severely restricted back burning or none at all thanks to the greens the fuel lading is off the charts and now we get raging monsters that kill all the seeds and bacteria that help the bush live its cycle.

This has already been in place for a while in most council areas across Aus Mate.
Some call it the "Emergency Services Levy", while insurance companies call it "increased premiums"

Yeah I know mate, I reckon they will introduce a 1 off Levy to help with it. The firies are already asking for more funding for more resources so don't be surprised if they announce something sooner than later. :thumbsup:
