ACROSS Australia from Perth to country Victoria in the past few weeks, dozens of homes have been destroyed in the latest summer heatwave.
It should come as no surprise with councils and governments still stuck in the ludicrous obsession with “saving vegetation” that can be destroyed in a matter of minutes by wildfires driven by hot, dry heatwave winds.
Perth, which suffered destructive wildfires in January 2021, 2023 and 2025, has again been battling wildfires in the southern suburbs of Warnbro and Waikiki with the help of a C130 dropping pink fire retardant on the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park. So much for environmentalism.
So what is the local Rockingham City Council’s attitude to vegetation? Basically, grow more. They call it an “urban forest strategy”.
“The City’s vision is for a resilient, sustainable urban forest in Rockingham that enhances ecological, social and economic well-being. By expanding the tree canopy and engaging the community, we aim to create a greener, healthier and more connected environment for future generations,” the council says.
If the bureaucrats and councillors who put that together had any brains, they would be specifically be promoting fire-resistant species.
The lessons have still not been learned – most dense native shrub species – the ones that are so popular among home gardeners and council park departments – are instant and explosive fuel for fires.
It’s the same in Victoria and NSW, where popular suburban “nature reserves” are little more than guaranteed fuel for wildfire in heatwave conditions. By contrast, exotic European and Asian tree and shrub species can actually resist fire – something the colonial settlers understood.
Victoria, dominated by Labor-Greens “vegetation laws” that protect “indigenous vegetation”, in the past week has also seen, yet again, the destructive effects of wildfire in suburban and rural areas.
“Out-of-control bushfires are continuing to rip through Victoria with at least 130 homes and buildings across the state lost and more than 300,000 hectares of land burned,” the ABC reported.
We have to ask: Have lessons been learned from Victoria’s 2009 Black Friday bushfires?
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbot says fires these days are more intense and fierce than those he fought as a paid NSW fire fighter in the 1980s and early 90s, with Davidson Rural Fire Brigade.
“I was a paid fire fighter for nearly 15 years in the 80’s and early 90’s, with the FCV (forward command vehicle). Fought my share of fires, never ever saw anything like what’s happening now,” Abbot recently posted on social media.
“In those days, we would do controlled cool fuel reduction burns in the Spring and late Autumn, we would maintain bush tracks. We allowed Cattle to graze in the High Country and allowed Stock to feed on roadside vegetation.
“Landowners could sink a dam anywhere on their property, a valuable resource in any fire situation. Landowners could make and maintain fire breaks. This all led to a reduction in fuel loads in forests.
“Sure, we had droughts and we had fires, but not of the intensity and ferocity of what we see today.
“A lot of our flora relies on fire to regenerate, but when you get fires like we have now, the sheer intensity and heat generated in them destroys some of those species and any chance they may have of survival.
“There is a big difference between being a conservationist and a greenie, I know this post will piss a lot people of, that is not my intention, just my experience and opinion. Just sayin’.”
I have sent my government liable for bushfires to the owner of the Natimuk pub down Horsham way. Natimuk was the scene of the banning of the Mount Arapiles rock climbs by the local Blackfella corporation and Parks Victoria.
That’s it Maggoo: and you should maybe have a look ay my video on the fires and my claim that the governments, state and federal, are liable for compensation for their failures to protect people’s properties, which is their Constitutionally mandate contract: “to protect life and property.”
Their environmental legislation, via refusal to mitigate fuel loads in the bush, the disallowance of fire breaks and massively sub par preparation for what they know is going to be a massive fire season might also amount to criminal negligence.
We all know, also, that weather control has been a possibility for decades, and many suspect the use of DEWs has been perpetrated, a friend in the country sending me a photo of an Aussie military plane equipped with a laser cannon (he says there are two of them parked in my locality) he saw on a dedicated Facebook page.
Not surprising, as you can see on the news bulletins houses flattened with the roof iron not charred, and the surrounding trees untouched-and that is with a lot of the houses seen on the TV news.
My local Member, Ri8chard Marles, is getting a rev form me later today, once my gob gets un-numbed form the tooth extraction I had this morning.
In my video, I say that the governments are liable, and should replace/rebuild every house and shed that went down in the fires.
And Richard Marles and Albo need to take back that $1.5 billion they have given Ukraine, and suspend all foreign aid, to do that rebuilding.
And those money-grubbers like Twiggy Forrest and Gina Rinehart ought to tip in a whack too, as they have profited immensely from the resources of this country and should give a bit back.
Q: Have we learned anything from Black Friday? Sure have! If you leave vegetation to grow, break down naturally and regrow continuously with-out doing a burn-back on it as my old dad used to do EVERY YEAR – and which the local governments have now banned – you KNOW you WILL destroy houses AND kill the fleeing People!
obvious_bob’s new video about the governments’ liability to do with the bushfires:
https://rumble.com/v747tt6-victorian-and-australian-governments-liable-over-the-bushfires-some-reasons.html
Bob’s letter today tot he local Geelong Advertiser:
Having briefly scanned the Victorian government’s bushfire special payments site I am appalled that these minuscule one-off payments,
to a maximum total of $2380 per family, is disgraceful.
Our federal government has sent hundreds of millions in aid to Ukraine, for example, which is a war not for our making and which we have
no business being involved in, and spends billions on foreign aid, $30 billion in grants to aboriginal organisations in the first half of 2025
alone, but when it comes to our own domestic population the largess goes missing.
As well, he federal government has over 430 Muslim organisations it subsidises or funds, and who knows what other organisations, yet
when home grown Aussies are wiped out my flood and fires, $2360 is all the help they get?
I hope my brief researches are incorrect, as otherwise we are witnessing another national governmental disgrace.
Dew To What: we are on the same page, as in: it looks like the DEW may just have dropped in recently. I suggested to a friend ho lives in rural Victoria that he paint his roof blue.
Amazing that houses were flattened, the roof iron not even blackened, and nearby trees untouched.
I even saw one trunk on the (toxic) TV news with glowing embers on the inside of the hollow trunk. Now fancy that!!!

Not all fires are equal, some make riverlets of aluminum.
As if that could happen naturally?
Ruffy VIC 08th Jan 2026
h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQUZZtzqwc8
starts at about 2m05s – 2m10s
Firebreaks are useless with strong winds throwing cinders 5k away in front and graders and dozers are no good in mountainous areas so squadrons of aircraft working together spraying water at tree top level would not only kill the fire but also wet the ground all around .
Graders are ideal in front of slow moving fires depriving them of fuel .
All country lanes have to be burned each Autumn to make it possible for fire trucks and equipment to reach fires burning in paddocks .
Bang on , Editor. Firebreaks, firebreaks, firebreaks. The BS environmental legislation have left the bush vulnerable to the sort of devastation we have witnessed in recent days.
The fuel loads have cause a lit o destruction, and the environmental laws have seen the bush go up, along with thousands of hectares of agricultural land and stock,defeating the alleged purpose of the legislation, which, in the end,protected nothing..
And then Albo and the Victorian Premier go and tell these people, who have lost god knows how much property, that they get a ONE OFF payment of less that three grand, and thta is it?
Might as well say, as our illustrious Sir Rope might: “Well, tough. This is all you get, now bugger off and die, you idiots.”
Government’s fundamental Constitutional obligation is: “…to protect life and property,,,” in which THEY have failed massively.
And if you bring the incendiary chemtrail spraying, which has been observed and documents, then you have another thing entirely, don’t you, as none of this spraying could have happened without government knowing, as THEY control the skies.
Here’s another one (1 min) Lahaina / Train brothers theme

The e-Karen has put her AI onto us
Dead right Duck. Ed
Geez Joe who would censor you? Poor eKaren she has more to worry about X taking her out. DEW? Ed
Planes are generally useless Neville. What was missing from NSW and Victoria fires were graders and dozers making firebreaks. These governments should be held responsible for the damage and loss of lives. Editor
Every government department in Australia has had an ABN for years. This includes the courts. Ed
What? Ed
My comment below absolutely can’t make it past the crooked AI in whatever form I try.
It’s Lahaina crossed with Train brothers all delivered in one minute so don’t be lazy, look it up
Once again, Duck: could the governments who passed all these environmental stupidities be held commercially liable for all this (UN-sustainable!) damage to the environment and agricultural areas due to the fires.
Andrew Clarke predicted this would happen-and his patch is no exception, as many another patch has gone up in flames:
https://www.9news.com.au/national/victoria-bushfires-emergency-crisis-bunyip-state-park-jinks-creek-winery-andrew-clarke/1484de15-183b-49d2-97d2-4723677adf8f
Everyone knows this man’s story, as Nine News made it go national, so are governments liable for compensation for all the damage done due to their weaponised environmental legislation?
I think a case could be made, as, for one, we had a dozen or more years of drought, nationally, with the fire potential too obvious to ignore, but, liek the fellow who mentioned the Australian made de Havilland water bomber planes, not much in the way of Elvis water bombers, or anything else, were commissioned for the eventuality of these predictable bushfire events.
I maintain that legislation is only of any applicability if it is in the express pubic interest, and much of this environment legislation simply is not, so should never have been passed enforced, especially regarding fuel loads in the bush.
As far as I am concerned Adam Bandt and his deluded Greenie colleagues are about as green as a badger’s hind end-and these Greens invariably live in the Nimby cities.
As for Cataclysmic Duck’s comment: yes, yes, yes! You will find that the CFA, like all Victorian government departments, operates under an ABN, as per:
https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?abn=39255319010
This means that that department, and the Victorian government (and all members of the VIC CORP Parliament) can be held liable for the damage done to Victorians and their property.
The legislation preventing fuel load removal from the bush, and the ban on fire breaks, has exacerbated the problem of fire mitigation.
Furthermore, the CFA, being corporate, and subject to full commercial ability for everything they do that causes anyone harm, will not tell you what t do in a fire emergency, but ask questions like: “How well do you know fire?” and so on. Pretty naff, I reckon.
They will not tell you what to do because they know they can get banged if their advice is incorrect (and maybe they don’t know what to do, given the fuel loads in the bush are over the top!) and you get into trouble. Hmmm???
Bang on, Duck!!!
You bastards, Cairns News!!! You continually publish idiotic comments like those of “Sir Rope”, who continually reminds us of how we voted for these governments and deserve everything we get, but refuse to publish my comments about the deliberate destruction that is happening in Victoria, with video of the infamous Jinks Creek Winery going up in flames, accompanied by Max Igan’s The Deliberate Burning of Australia video. Who The F— edits and approves content on this site? Rupert Murdoch?
Sir Rope: the electoral commissions are as corrupt as our Australian governments are, there can be no doubt-and I have Ian “Slug Gate” Cook’s-whom I personally know-testimony to that effect: massive anomalies in the vote counting, reported by Dan Andrews’ scrutineers when I an went up against Andrews last time around-and the electorates have been stacked with immigrants and refugees just to ensure that the major parties never get voted out-so that our electoral outcomes are as rigged as those claimed in the US, yet you get to spout your claptrap interminably, here.
In any event, Enemy Of The People Sir Rope, Max’s video-and i am sure you can join the dots and see that there is likely nothing accidental (chemtrail spraying pf incendiary substances-strontium, barium, aluminium, etc.,,-as in the fires Max talks about, and the disgraceful one-off payments announced by both the Victorian and federal governments-of fire victims of less than $3k per family.
One off. Really. Hope contemptuous is that Sir Rope?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrF5TwwXZqc
And the Andrew Clarke, Jinks Creek Winery video. Who knows? The PTB at Cairns News might actually publish it this time, after trying earlier today:
https://www.9news.com.au/national/victoria-bushfires-emergency-crisis-bunyip-state-park-jinks-creek-winery-andrew-clarke/1484de15-183b-49d2-97d2-4723677adf8f
Please not that Andrew, who I called a while after the event, warned, well in advance, that what happened there would happen.
BAN THE GREENS from any form of government office for they are solely the reason these fires are happening .
My mothers father fought in the 1939 fires in the ranges behind Healesville Victoria with wet grain bags fighting for their lives to stay alive and after the fires he lobbied the Victorian government to commence a burn off program in the Autumn months to burn off the fuel source .
One of my cousins was killed in the 1982 Victorian western district fires and one of his brothers was scarred beyond repair .
The government took notice of what I posted online and commenced immediate payment for volunteer fire fighters from the moment they arrive at the fire , instead of a week to ten days as was originally planned .
We need DeHavilland water scooping aircraft manufactured in Australia to form squadrons in each State and Territory to hit the fires before they can do any harm to people or property and they can be used during droughts to wet the ground to grow stock feed .
Here in SA much of the roadsides are not cleared and are full of tall grasses. Many of the nature strips and nature parks are full of long dry grasses. Council is not getting to these like it used to. Near us we have reserves full of dry grasses near eucalypts. The rule still applies here about picking up dried wood from the side of the road so there will be plenty of that too. Applying to council only seems to work when the grass is like a field, then it gets cut, or flattened, as the case may be when it’s so long. No tidying up gets done or brush cutting around bushes, trees, etc. Unless it’s an expensive Oval the rest seems to get left.

Patagonia burns.
Australians voted for it, so they deserve it.
Aussies elected a government that restricted the independent decision making powers of the RFS and SES local commands. These same governments introduced legislation that create the ideal conditions for a fire.
Impacted Aussies could have prepared by installing dams, fire breaks and other stuff, but they didn’t so they deserve it.
If they don’t like it, maybe they should vote in a different gov next time. Hahaha you pathetic goyim.
Aussies = bovine.
Wireless Hill looks like it’s in need of development.
Nothing like a fire sale.
Cannot post !!! Totally censored
Look up Australia for freed 2 ( take out the gaps ) a TikTok site and look at Longwood fire anomalies
Be quick before it gets banned by e-Karen
they are approaching bushfires like neanderthals – wait till its out of control then try and do the impossible..
they are being allowed to go out of control and burn on purpose ..
we have the technology and the equipment to put these fires out when they start – just not the will to do it..
There appears to be serous flaws in Australian governments and councils forest management policies and procedures.
Resilience 🤮 of Australian parks, reserves and private properties is not sustainable under present managers.
Save the trees from conservationists, parks and wildlife ineptitude and foreign sustainable development goals, with practical management.
Wake up people !!!
When you submit to the demands of fake government corporations which is what the councils and governments all are, you hand them your authority on a silver platter.
Two referendums proved that councils have NO POWER. They are not government, even though they call themselves local government. It is all lies.
T’S ALL ABOUT BURNING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HABITAT AND TO IRADICATE FARMING WHICH WILL MEAN STARVATION FOR MANY AUSIES. TIME TO ERADICATE THOSE THAT THREATEN OUR FUTURE, I’M SURE THEY WOULDN’T LIKE IT IF THEIR HABITAT WAS DESTROYED.
possibly its all this aerial spraying of forests and bushland with geoengineering high altitude crap that covers the sky,, this crap contains micro aluminium and strontium particles..
which burn very nicely in the bush.But of course its just jet exhaust..
checkout Dane Wigginghams geoengineering weekly podcast
Commenter Bob Tee.. I would suggest if not a HAARP operation perhaps a DEW operation assisted by other ‘firey’ means employed from above… observed & documented by some but ignored by those who are able to put a stop to it. Indeed “strange fire”.
I’m old. Victoria has always had Summer bushfires. I’ve never experienced such extensive fierce raging multiple bushfires in my entire life. The aboriginal people used to “cool” burn in the off-season to control the abundant dry forest floors to avoid/prevent such catastrophes. They knew how to look after the land in so many ways. Today’s Government & Council fake “preservation” tactics are ludicrous. The collection of old dry floor timber was readily permitted in days not so long ago but the ridiculous hefty fines in place more recently for carrying out such “offences” that offered free but sensible assistance in controlling the dry undergrowth speaks to Government culpability of guilt for these raging bushfires. Let’s return to the “good old days” when freedom of living was peaceable practice and a joy.
YES! Bad government policies are mostly to blame for these disasters. As Cairns News has said before, IT IS NOT A CRIME TO PICK UP DEAD WOOD from the forest floor, yet outrageous fines are now thrown at any person caught doing so & the usual stupid Government response is to hide behind more lies and broker nothing but dishonest statements & more & more threats to anyone who considers picking up ANY dead wood even on the roadside. – what is the matter with our stupid leaders? Our governments need to be removed as they are always deliberately working against the average citizen, intent on threatening any sensible person who disagrees with their crooked illegal practices, rules and mind numbing regulations & Laws.
There are large areas of Victoria which remain unburnt and are totally choked with tens of years of dead wood hidden under the underbrush – this is a major problem & threat for everyone living near these areas.
We are very lucky that the situation was not much much worse.
Strangest bushfire I’ve ever seen, and I’m now in my seventies. Looking at the pictures, we have houses totally destroyed by fire in the middle of acres of geen leafed eucalyptus. A fire this intense would normally be spread by it consuming the canopy of the trees and literally racing through the bush. Human lives often lost by just the radiation from such a fire. We now many destroyed houses with (fortunately) minmal casualties. And with the destruction where a high voltage transmission line has been planned. Not a HAARP operation from above? Maybe the term “bushfire” should be replaced by the term “strange-fire” OR “convenient-for-some-fire”.
