Aussie forest fires...

....So in summary, the article was simplistic, engaged only at a very very shallow level with the realities of the situation, and to top it off was smug, self-satisfied and insensitive to the victims.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions mate, very informative. One of the problems with articles like this is that it ticks so many 'au courant' boxes; sustainability, native knowledge against that of the relative newcomers, understanding of our environment etc. Particularly effective when it targets, shall we say, a certain demographic (Don't suppose there's many guardian readers here? I think I know the answer to that one).

And you sell yourself short, it was very well explained! :)
