Well it was backed up by statistics that suggest domestic violence incidents increase around large scale traumatic events. Thr timing of putting it out there was wrong however. Also there was 0% chance the Murdoch media were going to use the domestic violence increases around events like this line, they were always going to go with the 'GREENS SAY OUR BRAVE FIRE FIGHTERS WILL GO HOME AND BASH THE gelati OUT OF THEIR WIVES' angle.

It wasn't as dumb as the beetrooter using peoples deaths for political points at least.

Do the female fireys arrive home and exact domestic violence on their partners ?

Are they using ''clean coal'' that the LNP govt is selling them?

Morrison is a climate change neophyte, he said the link between climate change is real Doc.

I don’t care what he says PT as long as he stands by his statement to look into relaxing all the crazy environmental laws and does something about land management / hazard reduction.. He does that he’ll win he next election in a hand canter.

The ones that don’t allow people to fire proof their property . That allow people to build house backing on to national parks/ state forests but don’t put in fire breaks to protect their property. That insist that we allow the bush to grow right up to our main arterial roads so people end up trapped and the fire fighters in a lot of danger. The entire philosophy of allowing the bush to return to its “ natural state” has been a disaster. Perhaps you could explain why we didn’t have these sorts of uncontrollable mega fires the last time the country was experiencing the same weather patterns ? Back in the Federation drought , which was just as bad and just as wide spread as this and when they heat waves just as bad? Why didn’t Sydney burn down in the 1940s when the more localised drought was so bad the Hawkesbury stopped flowing ? The answer is there was no greens around back then and they knew how to manage the bush. Unprecedented fuel loads has caused these fires . End of story.
