For those of you claiming the Greens and left are at fault for not allowing back burning, consider this as being schooled. Love this guys delivery by the way...

What craps me is how continual fake news and right wing propaganda manipulate the facts and sell it as the truth. Then the myriad of gullible knobs out there lap it up when they hear it on a news snippet or that knobend Alan Jones' radio show, and then regurgitate it adnausium like it's the truth. Welcome to Australia's version of Trump USA.

I'm no fan of that University Revue-style presentation, but there's no denying the facts. Those are pretty bad figures, and at some point folks might realise that being "good economic managers" is about a lot more than slashing and burning budgets for all manner of services and needs. If you want "small government" you better be careful what you wish for. There's a tipping point beyond which any further cuts simply erode the quality of service that can be provided, exactly what we are seeing with these fires.
