Bundarrah Days

THE bushfire season has started in Victoria about six to eight weeks early.

An ominous sign for Melbourne was a blaze yesterday at Healesville bordering its water catchment.

The Bracks Government can't claim it wasn't warned. Country people and nature itself have been screaming warnings for years now and public land managers have not listened.

We are losing more and more biodiversity on public land through pseudo-scientific green inspired management philosophies which result in the destruction of the forests we supposedly want to protect.

It's almost as if some influential figures are courting an environmental disaster to further their green objectives. They are counting on their ability to put a spin on the causes of such a disaster and place the blame on those who predicted it.
