It’s important to look at history to understand how bad things can get. Australia’s most extensive Bush fires were known as the ‘Black Thursday’ Bushfires, where on the 6th Feb 1851 (Co2 levels 285 ppm) when the temperature hit an incredible 117°F (47.2 C) at 11am in Melbourne, and quarter of Victoria, 5 million hectares in total were burnt out (10 times more than from the current Bushfires in NSW). 12 lives were lost and one million sheep and thousands of cattle were lost.

I just read the manicfesto of the Monster Raving Loony Party in Britain and to be honest it was more sensible than the Greens manifesto. The biggest difference between the Loony Party and the Greens however is that the Looney Party do not take themselves seriously. They actually promise that, if elected, they won’t implement any of their policies. The Greens on the other hand don’t even get elected but expect to have their policies implemented because they are masters of manipulation, emotional blackmail and media infiltration.

Well Jake didn’t exactly get any accolades for his article about Scott Morrison did he?
But what did happen was quite an amazing thing. I learned that people who are Conservative don’t lambast, abuse, ridicule or issue death threats. They simply and politely disagree. No one yelled “ burn stuff” no one said F#k off and no one called me or Jake a four letter word starting in c and ending in t.
No, not one. Zero. Jake and I have spoken about this and both came to the conclusion that all is good in the world of differing opinions… until the leftie luvvies or climate activists get involved. Once that happens, all hell breaks loose and there is a bombardment of hatred, venom and violence. Isn’t that peculiar?

I sit here, amazed, gobsmacked and in shock that the man who won the unwinnable election has now potentially lost his Prime Ministership through bad marketing, bad management and bad attitude.
It was all his to keep. All his to hold on to – yet he has thrown it away with one disastrous Public Relations nightmare after another.

Those words are just the edge of what people who have been destroyed by these terrible bush fires are feeling.
They are at the end of their tether, they have suffered mentally the fear of what could happened and then it did. They have suffered the loss of their homes and burnt out properties, their treasured belongings , that can't be replaced.
Their children have seen and experienced things that most only read about in a book. Lost favourite teddy bears , their beloved cat and dog. Not to mention the animals on the farms that have been burnt and then had to be put out of their painful misery. It goes beyond even imagining let alone experiencing it.

Fire is and always will be part of life in Australia. What we do to minimise its impact is critical and surely should be managed as a single policy rather than State by State?
Thanks Neville for your insightful opinion piece. I look forward to hearing what others think of this.

Here we are with another year gone and the year 2020 ahead of us. When you think about it , the time is made up of memories, Birthdays, Christmases ,Weddings, even memories of the tough times.
I am very concerned for the children who will be in need of responsible parenting after these fires. How the parents respond is pivotal to their ability to move on. Will the parents politicise this or will they let the kids play the glad game? - patriotrealm

That my friends, is the situation in a nutshell.
I am not suggesting for one moment that being a Political Activist is wrong. Quite the contrary. If you have a strong feeling on either side of the political Great Divide, it is your right to express your view and I may not agree with you but, as Voltaire said, I defend your right to have it.
I have always been an environmentalist. I have enjoyed the great bounty that this planet has offered us: from fjords to forests; surf to sandy coves; lakes to lagoons; towering trees to tiny tadpoles; alpine air to the mossy smell of a cascading waterfall.
My heart has always been a slave to our wildlife, domestic critters and the sheer wonder of the wide open spaces – whether they be millions of acres of the Outback or the glory of the night sky when seen from a dark and isolated spot somewhere, anywhere, on this planet we call Earth.

How will the parents of these poor children feel when one day their boy/girl says to them: How could you? You were supposed to protect me and you did this to me?
Indeed, how will we as a society feel? How are the children, whose parents are giving them hormones to change their little bodies from male to female, how, just how, are those kids going to feel in decades to come when some of them realise that this had all been a terrible mistake?

The 2010 – 2019 years have seen some incredible wins and incredible losses. Millions, from throughout America and around the world, rejoiced when President Trump defeated the favourite, Hillary Clinton. Millions more cried, screamed and raged tears of unfettered agony to learn that their beloved Hillary had lost the unlosable election.
Countries everywhere welcomed Gay marriage and no one really minded – it was seen as a fair thing to do…. Yet since then, we have witnessed an alarming increase in gender dysphoria and transgender rights that have left many of the Gay community gobsmacked and aghast. Previously private parts of human relationships are being promoted as normal and encouraged by many from the Main Stream media.

Well folks I think we have seen it all. This is a plate which folks in an Aged Care Home in South Australia had for Christmas Day dinner. I imagine in their dreams they were back in time when it was a lovely roast of lamb , a tasty stuffed chicken, or even a delicious roast of beef. Roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding , and some lovely green vegetables. Followed by a beautifully decorated Pavlova. Christmas crackers on the table , paper hats, and a glass or two of wine.But wait a minute, what happened, they awoke to a nightmare. Smashed spuds and baked beans. If they were lucky a biscuit and a cup of tea for the sweets. . I bet the so called Carers weren't partaking of that Christmas fare.
