The rains are starting to flow across the country now thanks to 2 former tropical cyclones off the top end the other week.
For the last 100 or so years typically hazard reduction burns were done during winter to reduce the fuel load to prevent catastrophic summer bush fires.
But over the last 20yrs successive governments have slowly added more red and green tape to the process making it more and more harder to get your burn off permit approved, that and a large majority of local council getting stacked with green members ?
Then they wonder why we get such ferocious fire that destroy everything in their path and prove to be very hard to control or even slow down because of the extremely high level of fuel load that is nice and cured by now just itching to ignite.
Fair enough the odd fire started by lightning, but add to that the 128+ people who have now been charged with arson for starting the fires. Funnily enough a few of us guessed that those freaks in Extinction Rebellion ? would be behind some of them (means to an end to "prove" their point and shit) and turns out that a few of them are included in those charged with arson
