To achieve the intent of this policy, 14 national goals were identified.
Another goal was to promote Indigenous Australians' knowledge of fire management. This recognised the benefits of widespread, low-intensity, patchy fires across the landscape that are sustainable and create landscapes resilient to climate extremes. This policy statement goes much further than just considering how to respond to a bushfire emergency, which seems to be the focus of the call for a new royal commission by Prime Minister Scott Morrison.Over the past 20 years or so, the tertiary education for land managers, such as professional foresters and rangers, has been reduced to the level of generic"environmental science". This has largely been due to the politicisation of public land management.
We do not expect a physicist or chemist to build a bridge, even though they could provide great detail about the forces acting on it and the metallurgy of the structure.
'The responsibility for land and fire management rests with each state and territory government.' - remember that!
inquiry is a cop out as it'd take 3 yrs so no action It is a slimy way to excuse themselves to do NOTHING

Don't throw away burnt banknotes — the RBA says bushfire victims can reclaim their valueAustralians with cash damaged in the bushfires are being urged to take the remains to their local bank branch or bushfire evacuation centres to make claims for compensation. Yeah quick, before Scott Morrison takes it away permanently. The people of Australia have until the 10th of Feb before the Morrison government decides to take away your right to use physical cash, and with it your personal liberties and freedoms. And that's not open to exploitation one bit...

'Uncharted territory' as species likely go extinct in bushfiresSpecies have likely already gone extinct in Australia's catastrophic bushfires and experts warn it may take a decade to find out which ones due to lack of staff and diminishing budgets. I wish the article had have provided some specific examples of what species may have become extinct other than 'some birds'. That's hardly helpful. It's almost like the author or the people interviewed weren't even interested enough to name them. Yet the NSW government is supporting logging native forests - what's left them!! Needs investigation ey? This is overhype...!!! How can specifies go extinct when one small patch of aus is burnt in the grand scheme of things. FakeNews
