I'm absolutely shocked... NB: (Not shocked at all) Should we speculate on who the trainers voted for.... or would that be in bad taste?

Bushfire victims pour remains of home outside NSW parliamentAaron Crowe and Fiona Lee travelled to Sydney from their bushfire-ravaged community with what remains of their family home inside a tin to make a powerful statement outside the gates of NSW Parliament. Story here: 📷: Pete Foley. So.. you build a home in a forest, which has burned since the plants grew there & then you blame the Govt when it burns down?! This is peak crazy urged on by people like Mr Bandt whipping people into a climate frenzy at their most vulnerable time - all for his political gain. Dreadful that they lost their home. But his views have no more credibility than mine. And I say drought, questionable sources of ignition, lack of hazard reduction burns, badly maintained fire breaks, inappropriate siting of houses. The political system is broken. Let’s become a republic and have two levels of government. Get rid of state government because the can’t agree on the big issues.
