Bushfires. Australians under attack from their own government

Agenda 21 - Australian style.  Burn the people off the land.

EXTRACT from email

Fires could not be more dreadful.  Many houses and property destroyed.  Domestic animals and native.  Fires still not under control in central NSW and Tasmania.  In very rough country with deep undergrowth tinder dry. 

Very touch wood - nothing in the West of Victoria yet.  As I said before we are unprepared owing to Govt regulations about burning off.  We have not had a very hot day with a strong wind which is inevitable.  

The present farmers around cannot remember the black days in the 40s when the last great surge of fires burnt out properties and destroyed several homesteads in the district.

A couple of months ahead will be still a worry – we are really just coming into what is normally the worst period.

Around Melbourne they have had at least five fires, lit by arsonists.

Fingers crossed.

TAP - those arsonists might just be the government, who've clearly planned the whole thing.  If you don't burn off when it's safer to do so, the inevitable result is a fire that totally destroys everything.
