Now post a completely unrelated article about unions - or a pic of a rainbow fire hydrant.
Please show where I have posted pictures. What article about unions that are unrelated? You are getting wierder and wierder.

Nothing. They don't.
What? You haven't seen letters to the editor about the need to stop reduction burns? You notice I didn't say Greens as that seems to trigger some.
"When it comes to reducing the extent of bushfires, scientists disagree on the best way to do it. Hazard-reduction burning (also known as “prescribed burning” or “controlled burning”) is controversial and, depending on the scientific paper, it’s shown to either be effective or not work at all."

That could work, no?
Well seeing as you keep making Schit up, how would I know?
Of course, there’s opposition to hazard-reduction burns, it’s inevitable in any democratic society where interests and priorities clash. But does it actually dictate policy? No, it doesn’t.
This narrative about “green groups” obstructing burns is just another convenient scapegoat, much like the obsession with DEI in the US. It’s a diversion tactic, a way to ignore the more inconvenient and pressing reality of climate change.
The shrinking window for safe, effective hazard-reduction burns isn’t the result of environmentalist resistance, it’s the consequence of hotter temperatures, drier landscapes, and longer fire seasons, conditions exacerbated by a warming climate. Add to this the increasing frequency of lightning strikes igniting tinderbox-like vegetation, and you get the catastrophic bushfire conditions that are fast becoming our new normal.
But acknowledging this doesn’t suit your worldview, does it Lee?
No, far easier to point the finger at “green opposition” than to grapple with the structural and environmental shifts driving these crises. Keep the blame-game alive if it helps you sleep better, but don’t mistake it for reality.
