Why are the noisy climate change deniers on here?

@kingpins. Yes mate you are correct. I am not rascist against white people. I lack a nomenclature to describe the Anglo Celtics who settled this country and instituted English/European farming and land management practices. Hell, my ancestors were mainly Scots. With the exception of my Mum's dad.

These people imposed these practices upon our ancient fragile leached down soils. These soils ar low in or lack, N P K, Molybdenum, Silenium, and a whole raft of other trace elements. Maybe that is why the aboriginal people never developed agriculture as we know it. Without artificial fertilizer, the soil in general would not allow it. There are pockets of fertile soil, I will admit, but afterone crop, the nutrients are normally depleted for years.

I think a lot of peope don't realise what the country used to look like. The huge grasslands we have now didn't exist. There were extensive forests. In the 1800s the european settlers used Steam Traction Engines to clear the scrub. Thus, huge grasslands are more prone to wildfires, which, once they reach the forests, are already too hot to stop.

BTW. You failed to mention what we in Qld have done on the Condamine with Collie Cotton. (Now Chinese owned). We have stopped a tremendous anpont or water flow into the Darling.. Absolute envioronmental vandalism.

You are correct about many white people knowing and loving this country. Read about the early Explorer Gregory, for one. But then we also had Burke and Wills, Ludwig Leichhardt, and so on. Directionally challenged Scots and thick-headed Germans. As it turned out, a lethal combination for explorers. BTW. As an Engineer I have a lot of respect for German Engineering, und ich sprechen ein paar worter auf Deutsch. I have even struck quite a few "***bas" who can track better than I. Yup! some white people have taken the time to know and get to love this country, it is not easy.

Thanks for your kind words. At last I realize I am not some alien being, wailing in the wind.

Hi Marum

Being of Celtic Welsh grandparents I am familiar with the term.

It may help if our leaders would be compelled to go to sea in a small boat to realize that they cannot change the power of the sea but have to learn to 'go with it", not unlike the Japanese who know that they have to be like a willow and bend but not break

As far as clearing and changes to the country I am afraid that most of them are for the benifit of foriegn owners with any profits after raping the land to go overseas.

It is noticeable that with all the big rich companies in Australia who have board rooms in foriegn places are not noticeably helping with the bushfire problems, being a case of rape, burn and pillage and then move to another country

I don't care who is here on the one proviso that they must be here for Australia not some foriegn government or boardroom.
Any contract must have benefit for both sides, Australia always seems to come off second
