Firestick Estate Inc. believes the senior Shadow Minister’s unconditional endorsement of “mass murder” and the coverups, was a proxy for the Federal Government and Opposition, prompting our nine prioritised, book based Recommendations.
1. Establish a Minister for Treaties and Extreme Bushfire Mitigation
To return Australia to the safer place provided by Aboriginal care for country, begin by appointing a new Ministry, which will also serve 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 Foreword co-authors, were published in Australia’s top national rural newspaper, subsequently unchallenged by 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 urgent matters, to audit Australia’s bush nett biodiversity. Specifically, to establish the dollar value for Australia’s bushland top soil, water catchment, flora and fauna. That will provide the real cost of future extreme bushfires, so those responsible can be held accountable for the actual cost of the losses incurred:
“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 incinerated).
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, Cheney exerts control).
5. Provide the ‘explicit risk-analysis model’ used, for the government’s 2012 ‘risk estimate’ video, Don’t Wait and See, 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 disaster 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).
7. 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:
“Deliberately burning people and animals to death is beyond almost everyone’s comprehension” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2024, Chapter 27, page 161, A most shameful thing).
8. 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 best class of fire, ie:
“..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).
9. Copy Western Australia
The book’s Foreword co-authors present a brief summary of the development of Western Australia’s prescribed burning initiative:
“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) .
