Horrid abomination
Any suggestions on what my wife can do when frustrated by a FB wall of dickheads saying Tassie's bush fire woes are the greens fault. We tried posting the greens page with "Climate change will increase the intensity and frequency of bushfires; scientifically-based, ecologically appropriate use of fire is an important means to protect biodiversity and manage habitat effectively.", but english comprehension doesn't seem to be high in rural Tasmania. I feel for many of these people, there are scared and feel a need to lash out at something to regain a little control but this is just wasted effort. Is there a link to a greens page that flat out says "We support fuel reduction burns"? From some digging we did it looks like when Parks and Wildlife did do burns this winter locals complained of the smoke and they stopped? Some of their paranoia seems to come from the Labor/Greens govt' of last cycle taking the authority off Forrestry and giving it to P&W.

Sorry if this becomes a state derail but I couldn't think where to turn to and this pisses me off because I do want to help, and the locals opposing the greens because they believe that the greens (with very little political power) are stopping good environmental management is only hurting them more.

second result from googling "greens statement fuel reduction burns"

Thanks. That is not a search wording I would have thought of I tried more or less that but with policy and stance but never statement because duuuuuuuurrrrrrr I'm an idiot.

Is it a derail to talk about what Labor said this morning? It seems quite good on the face of it but is it a trick, or will it just be a toothless vote grab that disappears if/when they get elected?
