This is the policy direct from the Greens Party web site:
The Australian Greens support hazard reduction burns and backburning to reduce the impact of wildfire when guided by the best scientific, ecological and emergency service expertise.
Attempts by right-wing pundits and politicians to place the blame on the Greens represent the worst kind of dishonest politics when the Coalition has spent six years in office ignoring the chief cause – the drying of our landscape caused by severe climate change, which is the result of continuing to mine, burn and export coal, oil and gas.
"23 former Fire and Emergency Leaders with more than 600 years of combined experience have banded together to call for stronger action on climate change, warning that worsening extreme weather is threatening Australian lives."
