In Victoria in 2010
Why is it that bushfires, regeneration burns, ecological burns, asset protection burns etc., are not considered fuel-reducing?
Why is Victoria logging in water supply catchments when we are short of water - especially after they have burned?
Why has not the impact of continually losing hollow trees as a result of increased deliberately lit fires and logging and the threat of extinction this poses to possums, parrots and other species being referred for consideration under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act?
What are the projected carbon emissions from all deliberately lit fires such as fuel reduction burns, asset protection burns, regeneration burns, etc.?
Why aren't the fuel loads before and after these deliberately lit fires and bushfires measured? If you believe they are, where and when?
The author suggests that readers
