"Fess up all those culpable " strange that Dr Strangelove asks criminals to confess. The good Dr must live in a fairy world. Bob will never fess up. Blocking fire trails etc "Creating a national park and then, as this Government has done, largely letting "nature take its course", means this history stops. Gradually the vegetation thickens, the fuel load grows, the animal populations expand, and weeds proliferate. The park becomes a sort of toxic ecological volcano, spewing out fire, kangaroos, weed seeds, and feral animals such as wild dogs into the surrounding countryside. It takes a few decades to reach this point. A lot of our national parks were created in the 1970s and 1980s, which is why these problems started to become acute in the 1990s." disallowed/national/carrs-green-legacy-is-a-black-mark-20050730-gdls3p.html
