LABOR/GREENS ENVIRONMENTAL HYPOCRISY LABOR'S LACK OF HAZARD-REDUCTION SETS THE SCENE FOR THIS SEASON'S BUSHFIRES Fire management is a STATE RESPONSIBILITY. The Queensland Fire Service (QFS) and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) are both managed by the state government. Taking care of forests and nature reserves requires prescribed burning (or cool burning) - a crucial land management tool which stimulates germination and rejuvenates the landscape. Cool burning also allows native animals to escape to safety, and endangered species to be protected. The outcome from prolonged drought and unmanaged fuel build-up is massive catastrophic bushfires causing a huge death toll of native animals and long-term destruction of habitat and biodiversity. In Queensland, only half the prescribed burns have been undertaken over the past 5 years. But vast tracts of crown land, as well as small properties abutting native bush, are rarely burnt off under Labor’s mismanagement of our environment. So important are Greens preferences to Labor’s election prospects, that Labor is handcuffed to the failed GREEN’S POLICY of ‘WILDING’, putting Queensland at greater risk of catastrophic bushfires These environmental pretenders have “GOTTA GO” in the 2020 election https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-11/love-burning-off/4461246 https://www.riteon.org.au/submission-for-bushfire-inquiry/
