A DEPUTY GROUP CAPTAIN SPEAKS OUT ABOUT COONABARABRAN
Please wait for the audio to load (above).
There is targeting of those speaking out like brave Group Captain, Mike Bowmans in the above audio.
THE TOTALLY GORGEOUS "SPRINGBROOK" BEFORE
AFTER JANUARY 2013 COONABARABRAN FIRES
THE FAMILY'S FINAL SAD GOODBYE - THEIR INSURANCE DID NOT COVER REBUILDING TO NEW BUSHFIRE CODES, SO LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, THEY WERE FORCED OFF THEIR LAND.
IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY, YEAR IN & YEAR OUT
Failure to hazard reduce national parks, when it could be done cheaply using a handful of people dropping incendiary devices from light aircraft in winter to copy the cool burning Aborigines taught us...
A potentially dangerous fire starts... Opportunity to control the fire passes... Then, once it is too late, paid hierarchy orders an attack costing the taxpayer tens of $millions...
Backburning as horrendous conditions set in. (Backburns, once fires start to spot or blow embers, increase flame intensity so fires worsen)...
Total mess... Aircraft waterbomb when the flames are too hot to have an effect, at about $500,000 per fleet a day, until a weather change finally brings the flames under control. Locals ruined financially & psychologically...
The firestorm's fire cloud spreads fires to other districts & it starts to happen all over again... There is targeting of those speaking out like brave Group Captain, Mike Bowmans in the above audio.
THE LIST OF THOSE TARGETED FOR GOING PUBLIC IS A LONG ONE:
There are volunteer firefighters voicing their outrage over unnecessary dangers to their lives & livelihoods. A handful of people in light aircraft dropping incendiary devices into national parks and Crown land during winter are enough to cool burn one state's Crown Land using methods Indigenous Australians perfected over millennia. Currently in one year, only about 0.06% of bushfire prone land is hazard reduced because bushfire service methods make it mathematically impossible to make the bush safe (to read how, please click https://sites.google.com/site/stopbushfires/like-a-story-record-the-story-in-rural-australia-is-the-same-read-about-port-stphen-home-once-to-large-numbers-of-koalas/this-bushfire-life-by-geoff-walker). To see brave Captain Ralph Barraclough exposing dangerously flammable firetrucks please click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbYOx7n6tMQ . The Victorian bushfire authority tried to take away Ralph's captaincy after he showed that rather than protecting people, firetrucks are dangerously flammable.
Researchers from CSIRO such as Phil Cheney are kept on a tight rein or removed from office - get rid of the researchers and you get rid rid of proven science. The Federal Police raided Cheney's office and confiscated his computers and files when he was assisting ACT Chief Coroner in the the 2003 fires. His old department, the Forestry Unit was closed down in 2009. Also losing funding were state forest researchers and foresters, who like CSIRO bushfire scientists, put in submissions to coronial and parliamentary inquiries pointing to problems similar to those described on this website. And then there were universities... Can't talk about this because it is too traumatic for me to even begin to describe...
Then there's ACT former Chief Coroner, Maria Doogan who recommended criminal investigations of nine ACT bureaucrats following a series of lethal acts & omissions in the 2003 fire tornado. The ACT Government hired a Macquarie Street legal team & spent $250,00 trying to sack Doogan. After the inquiry, the targeting continued. She became terribly unpopular with the ACT Government and six years after reaching her damning but factual findings, she announced her resignation.
Victims who lose their homes &/or livelihoods get financially exhausted when they take legal action to try to get back what they lost (to read more about victims' being financially exhausted, please click s.128 Rural Fires Act... on the lefthand menu bar)...
