The water bombers could have stopped the fires on Kangaroo Island easily, but they were mostly stationed in NSW. What we need is a federal squadron of water bombers to be flown and maintained by the air force. Airbases and airports in all states can be setup to refuel and refill the aircraft quickly in emergency fire situations. Some aircraft can refill quickly from nearby oceans and lakes. This squadron can be paid for with a small contribution from the GST. E.g. 0.5% of the total GST would contribute about $100m per year toward the cost. The states would save heaps because they would no longer have to spend all their money on hiring water bombers from Canada and the US. Its a no brainer.
