Firestick Estate Inc. believes the senior Shadow Minister’s unconditional endorsement of “mass murder” and the coverups, as a proxy for the Federal Government and Opposition, enables our ten prioritised, book based Recommendations:

1. Establish a Minister for Treaties and Bushfire Mitigation

To return Australia to it’s former safer place and prevent further catastrophic extreme bushfires, begin by appointing a new Ministry, to honour the word of Australia’s second longest serving Prime Ministers: 

“Mr Howard said on nation wide television: ‘We have made certain international commitments; … (environmental treaties) …having made those commitments, we are bound to keep them and implement them’ ”. (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 23, page 135, “Huge fuel loads cause fire” )

That the new Minister will:

2. Accept  responsibility for extreme bushfires

In 2020, our book’s author and two internationally renowned, extreme bushfire expert Foreword co-authors, were published in Australia’s top national rural newspaper, without rebuke from anyone: 

“Those who suggest bad bushfires are ‘natural disasters’, effectively disenfranchise Aboriginal care for country. Extreme bushfires are not ‘natural disasters’, as the government claims” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 28, page 166, Cheney, Packham and Malseed)

3. Commission an Australian bush audit

Relocate those existing University grant funds, currently spent on less relevant matters, to audit Australia’s bush nett biodiversity. Specifically, to establish the dollar value for Australia’s bushland top soil, water catchment degradation, flora and fauna. That will provide the real cost of future extreme bushfires, so those responsible can be held accountable for the actual losses incurred: 

“…his offer to visit us was initiated by the Prime Minister and triggered by our first use of the words ‘involuntary manslaughter through negligence’…in our opinion, he was an ambassador for the desertification of our forests” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 11, page 76, Unwelcome diversion)… and… Even seeds in the soil are incinerated. In this national park, tall wet forests are now a sun-scorched wasteland. We’re left wearing hard hats in the bush, looking for live trees in a dead forest” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 11 ,page 78, Seed in the soil incinerate) and: “Extreme bushfires destroy million hectare ecosystems each decade, unmeasured, unrecorded and willfully in breach of Australia’s international environment commitments” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Epilogue, page 178, A comfort zone for shared knowledge)

4. Accept responsibility for fuel

In 2018 Australia’s, and possibly the world’s leading extreme bushfire scientist, stated in Australia’s leading, national rural newspaper, without rebuke by anyone: 

“If you look at risk, what you can control, fuel load is the only thing that matters” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 19,, page 117, Government supervised arson infrastructure).

5. Provide the ‘explicit risk-analysis model’ used, for the government’s 2012 ‘risk estimate’, of 8000 deaths from an extreme bushfire.

“…those 8000 people or so, trying to flee, are going to find it extremely hard…” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 6, page 53, Government aware of impending disaster).

6. Decentralise Emergency Management

The 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission was informed by probably the top international expert on warnings – Harvard University Professor Herman B. Leonard – that:

“Centralised Emergency Centres worldwide, have a high warning failure rate” (Bushfire Death Trap-The Eltham Gateway 2013, page 16, Extreme Bushfires Emergency Warnings, click here for Paper).

Furthermore, endorsing that international expert, our 2021 investigation revealed:

“…if the misinformation contained in the official warnings for the Kilmore East Fire on Black Saturday had not been broadcast, most of the victims would have sought more reliable information about their impending fate, and survived” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 20, page 123, Firestick Estate investigates government warnings).

7. Accept basic accountability standards

In 2020, our Nation’s most influential newspaper, The Australian published: 

“…incompetent politicians…run a protection racket, exempting themselves from basic accountability standards…” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 28, page 168, Government double standards).

8. Improve government forest management culture

Return government forest management from it’s systemically dysfunctional state, to it’s more grounded bureaucratic roots, by conducting an efficiency audit. The late Ray Evans history of the politicisation of Australian extreme bushfires concludes: 

“…in 1982, Joan Kirner was…the leader of the Socialist Left faction in the ALP…She also fired…the top three layers of the Forests Commission…From that day to this the department…known throughout rural Victoria as the Department of Scorched Earth, has been completely dysfunctional” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 8, page 62, The Socialist left takes over our forests, and Green, Burnt and Red All Over).

9. Promote Aboriginal prescribed burning fire

Within existing municipal structures, address a government created fear of Aboriginal fire and smoke, by drafting a format for community participation in micro scale prescribed burning in high risk residential urban parklands. Initially, a ‘Bonfires in the Winter’ education program, to promote the:

 “..safe, healthy and ecologically enhancing benefits for the whole forest environment, most akin to Aboriginal prescribed burning …” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 29, page 173, The four classes of fire).

10. Copy Western Australia

The book’s Foreword co-authors present a brief summary of the development of Western Australia’s prescribed burning ‘bible’, the famous Red Book:

“Within three years (1961 to 1964) operational prescribed burning of large areas was in place across Western Australia’s northern Jarrah Forest” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Foreword, page 8 and 10, Managing fuel is the only thing we can do) .

11. Award President Trump Australia’s highest Honour                

President Trump led the US, Australia and other nations, with a ground breaking statement about the cause of, and solution for, extreme bushfires. We believe that leadership will conserve large tracts of the world’s forests from desertification:
