Bloody hell Ray, I thought you were an academic—not a retarded follower of the left. Your comments sound like a sermon from a high priest of the Church of Climatology.
Just one simple fact is that when the area covered by national parks in NSW was substantially about a decade ago, the National Parks and Wildlife Service were given no additional funds to enable them to adequately manage the greatly increased area of bush. Also, access to the national parks was restricted—for example, grazing was banned so cattle didn't eat the under storey.
For the record, my knowledg of the issues of getting approval for hazard reduction burns came from the time a few years ago when, working as a consultant to the NSW Fire Brigade, I worked with a mixed team of operational Fire Brigade and Rural Fire Service people to review the standard operating guidelines for hazard reduction burns in NSW.
Then there's Liberal Senator Christopher Back who was CEO of the Bush Fires Board of Western Australia and says bushfires are best prevented not with a carbon tax but a fuel-reduction burn. 'In WA, the aim is to cool burn around 10% of the jarrah forests annually. In many Eastern Australian forests it is estimated the figure achieved is around 2% or less. It is simply not enough.'
And former CSIRO bushfire researcher David Packham said, 'we had to burn our bush every 10 years to cut the leaf litter that turns our fires into infernos, a level of burning NSW doesn’t come close to reaching.'
This is largely a domestic topic from NSW which I think inappropriate for an international forum—but you were told that several times before you were banned from the Barton Forum.
Had it not been for the personal attacks, I would have ignored your puerile remarks and I will not respond any further.
