Huh? Are you talking about hazard reduction burning?

- SturgeonsLaw 7y agoThe RFS has permission to conduct materials clearing. The quotes below are from the head of the RFS: > Shane Fitzsimmons told the program that while hazard reduction burning is part of a “really complex argument”, “environmental clearances are invariably not our problem with hazard reduction burning”. > “Our biggest challenge with hazard reduction is the weather and the windows available to do it safely and effectively,” Mr Fitzsimmons said. > “Sure, there’s environmental and other checks to go through but we streamline those. There’s special legislation to give us clearance and to cut through what would otherwise be a very complex environment.” https://www.news.com.au/national/rural-fire-service-boss-rejects-barnaby-joyces-bushfire-theory/news-story/d89c268a63385f6afb8f78171457dfa3 https://www.news.com.au/national/rural-fire-service-boss-rej...
