Likewise-went via the Dominican nun (primary) and Christian bros (secondary) education route-never saw nor heard of anything untoward or rumours about it....100% with you on the 'batshit crazy'......

No, I didn't either, through six years of boarding school to 1972. Obviously there was some bad stuff going on elsewhere.

Same here, I went to Catholic School for the first few years of secondary school till Dad made me go to public school, that was because he didn't see the sense in him paying for me getting belted as punishment almost daily when it could be done for free at a public school, true story But I never even heard a rumour of it at St Marys. To this day nothing from there has been reported.

The first thing you do is not listen to any Green Party bullshit

It annoys the hell out of me when misinformed, lying, vote hungry, prey on gullible public, that these idiots every time that happens blame Global Warming

I don't even know who that is, I also don't dispute Global Warming isn't a hoax, I also believe it's over blamed and used as excuses, those fires were started by lightning strike, been happening here since before white man came here and been happening since white man came.

Being the driest continent on the planet, and also Victoria being the most bushfire prone place on the planet, when we do get dry thunderstorms fire will start.

I actually heard an idiot on the radio today say, along the lines of, if we had more normal rainfall like the rest of the world fires wouldn't start. Then went on to say re-introducing a carbon tax could help fix things I know it then, another dopey far leftie greenie, shuffling money around won't give us more rainfall. But those are the arguments put forward by idiots to suck in non thinking idiots.

It was a pretty non-committal ah-huh, as I recall. Certainly not an imperative like: "a-hah!"

& I didn't provide any explanatory link(s) because... rumour has it some people are scared by them.

I still don't get it,
The thread title is , What if you lived in Australia
So I posted a fact of life here, bushfires, and the other fact that some people are duped by blind faith in buying everything the Greens say. I read that article you posted in the pic but has noting to do with bushfires, which was my entire point.
