It's a shame that environmentalists who don't know what they are talking
about pressure the government into banning backburning. The Aboriginals
used to backburn all the time precisely to avoid these kind of fires.
Without it, a lot of fuel is sitting there waiting to go up. Like it has
several times over the last 10 years. Prevention is better than cure. Pity
environmentalists are too short-sighted to see that.
I'm going to stop now before I get angry...
