News: Australian PM under pressure as bushfires fuel climate debate, page-10

Maybe you should reconsider your thought processes and join a lynch mob,

To tar, feather and parade over 100 fire bugs,

Don't you think that would be far more appropriate than lynching a prime minister who went for a holiday,

How's this for a thought process,

I'm not going to go on holidays because I'm scared my farm will burn to the ground if I'm not there, if I'm there at least I can see it burn to the ground,

Now's how's this one for a thought process,,

I'm the prime minister of Australia, im not going to go on holidays because my country might need me to stand up and console everyone, i can still go on holidays and console everyone in a time of need because im well coonected, because i have fakebook, Twitter, news.com, My red phone to the trumpster, My Samsung galaxy phone,

Do you see how ridiculously stupid some people are,

We all need a holiday, at some stage, shit happens,

So, what are you going to Do to these 100 Or So fire bugs, oh dang, let's just blame climate change,,that'll work,

I'm well aware this article is 5 days old, nothing's changed in 5 days except more fires lit by fire bugs,

Have a merry Xmas and a happy New year,
Dozens of firebugs blamed for destructive Queensland fires

Almost 100 firebugs have deliberately started blazes across Queensland that have destroyed homes and consumed thousands of hectares of bushland.

A 16-year-old boy found to have started a fire that razed 14 homes in central Queensland and dealt with under the state's Youth Justice Act.
Two more teens, 14 and 15, were charged with endangering property by fire over a blaze that destroyed two homes and forced hundreds to flee.
More than 120 fires are still being investigated and more people could be charged.
The firebug revelations come as fire crews continue to face challenging conditions as a strong upper ridge sweeping across the south-east combines with fresh east northeasterly winds on Friday.
The volatile conditions prompted the weather bureau to reissue a severe fire warning for the Darling Downs and Granite Belt, Central Highlands and Coalfields, and the eastern parts of the Warrego and Maranoa districts on Friday.
