I'm so sick and tired of what passes for public debate. The bushfire enquiry recommendations published today. 76 recommendations. All the Neanderthals want to talk about is 'hazard reduction burning', the tabloid framing of the event last summer that allowed the culture warriors to attack 'Greenies' and their other enemies. Even at the time it was noted that areas that HAD been hazard reduction burned fared no better than any other area, the fires ran right over the top of all of them.
