President of The Volunteer Fire Fighters Association Mick Holton says Australians “haven’t learnt” from last summer’s devastating bushfires as people are quick to blame climate change when really fuel has built up from decades of land neglect. “We have destroyed the bush … and then we quickly blame climate change and no one really is too interested in active land management,” Mr Holton told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“There’s 22 million hectares of bushfire prone land in New South Wales and we’re not even reaching one per cent of treatment. “We can’t be blaming climate change.” Mr Holton pointed out that “a few degrees in temperature is not going to make a big difference” because “it’s the fuel, it’s those bad windy days” which creates fire risk. “The thing that’s different over recent years is the fuel, we have neglected our backyard and let the fuel build and build over decades.
Mick_Holton News Corp/SKY BUSH FIRE SEASON PREDICTION : * Expect a parade of commentary from those deny any relation to climate change. * Expect bushfires to blamed on people where possible. * Avoid The Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements as much as possible
Mick_Holton CFA volunteers in country Victoria were prevented from conducting burn-offs because of Covid restrictions. Yet there was no Covid infection in most regions. Zero. But the failure to conduct burns creates highly hazardous conditions putting hundreds of lives at fire risk. Crazy.

Mick_Holton Also. It's not climate change. It's the stupid rich people who built their mansions too close to the ocean. Own fault.
Mick_Holton It's not 'land neglect' it's by design, to create the climate change narrative.
