Spin words mean nothing without action...I survived not 1 but 2 catastrophic personal fires during this time, I have fellow fire-fighter friends who were begging literally for equipment like boots, gloves, full face masks, water, food, respite & a toilet break ...I cried as I heard this first hand and I cried when I heard them frantically on the radio asking to be relieved from the task that was a death trap, grown mens voices were quaking with fear, I heard others ask are we going to die, were is the help, why hasn't the bombers dropped yet for hours & hours there lives were put in danger because there is no mandate for Police to force people of there land & they were tasked to go get them up tracks, one way dirt roads, no safety zones or water... sent into the Fire storm, time & time again ... this is why so many men & women where broken, physical & mentally, have life long physical & mental health issues ... fix the system, its broken and all the media spin won't help
How dare you give air time to these arseholes? Bob Carr and Phil Koperburg put the anti presrcibed burn regime in place back in the early nineties, and those of us living within and immediately adjacent to the bushland have watched the deterioration slowly but surely manifest itself ever since. The area of the Currawan fire had half of it's regular rainfall, challenging, Yes, Catastrophic, Bullshit. The actual Temperature and wind speed data show nothing unusual for an Australian Summer, what was unusual was the volume of fuel, and the total area of bush carrying criminally excessive fuel loads. I was there, I fought the Currawan fire fire from the 27/11/2019 until 4/1/2020, I personally knew most of those who perished during, and immediately after the fire. How dare you insult their memories with more of the same f..king crap that caused this to happen?
For starters cut the crap about climate change and go back to controlled burning which some idiot stopped. Australia always has and always will have bad bushfires. We don't need solar panels and wind turbines we need the correct firefighting equipment and paid professionals and not just rely on the goodness of volunteers. Having a large fleet of water Bombers is essential for a quick response to the start of a fire. Cut the crap and put the money where it's needed
due to climate change the window for us to be able to do hazard reduction burns has shortened significantly. Also we had done hazard reductions earlier in 2019 and when the fires came through, they ripped through the areas of HR burns like nothing
"go back to controlled burning" then you must not live here. It's was a cool late April and the night time air has been smoggy, you bet they've burning. Sure we always had bushfires, but not of this massive scale. SCALE matters. You are soo brainwashed by erroneous energy politics. You are ignoring basic facts of what is happening.
As someone who was a volunteer with the QRFS during the Black Summer Fires, these fires were lifechanging to battle and nothing we had ever seen
Your mind is directed in one direction you can't see other solutions in the middle of ceuos
whats going on?????? who did it????? why?????
natural cause and arson caused the fires

The volunteers took all the money getting donated, and started more fires accidently when trying to back burn. Your so right
