Exactly, that was my mention on twisting to fit viewAlso, I believe that the study quoted did not specifically mention firefighters just people who had been involved with firestorms. it was jumping the f****** shark to conflate the domestic violence with the actual firefighters.
Toxic.
I think jumping the f****** shark is this strange compulsion to link any toxic comments with a political persuasion.
ie: Misandry = far left and misogyny = far right
That is w-a-a-a-a-y too simplistic but it partially demonstrates why the debate around SSM was nothing short of prepubescent
I'm sorry, did you just compare someone who was paid to kill people, against someone who is paid to provide emergency services?
All of the above are tough jobs, much tougher than mine by a long shot - so I hold them in the highest regard. But anyone who is paid to kill is far more vulnerable to those mental issues you mentioned. Surely you can see that?
Who cares what the Greens hook up with? It has zip to do with the point.Oh come on! The Greens would be at 0.5% (where they belong) if they didn't package up all the woke crap with the Maoist economics.
Do you think that climate change has a leading role in these wildfires?We were always taught, or informed, that in southern Australia fires invariably started in late summer ,usually from late January.And that they started after noon when the fuel had time to dry out.This seemed to hold true until the last few years.In respect of wildfire management, the Greens aren't the solution, they are the problem.
They are well aware that they get hammered after every fire season for their resistance to winter time fuel management burning. Solution, easy, get on the front foot with a media campaign to brainwash the public to the idea that climate change is the culprit.
So now its a regime of massively hot, ecologically damaging, fiscally crippling emergency bushfires based on the huge fuel loads.
To their credit WA have seen the light, and wound back the clock to the effective, less ecologically damaging, less financially crippling management practices of the 1970s and 80s.
It's not just the Greens who are to blame. Plenty who are in on the scam, from government agencies, to pollies, to media, to research academics.
Just how much do people think it costs to hire the fleet of helicopters and fixed wing water bombers that seem de rigeur at every bushfire nowadays?
Yeahbut... Green activists are seeing an advantage in starting them earlierDo you think that climate change has a leading role in these wildfires?We were always taught, or informed, that in southern Australia fires invariably started in late summer ,usually from late January.And that they started after noon when the fuel had time to dry out.This seemed to hold true until the last few years.
I'm only saying, in Eastern Australia a severe bushfire season comes along every 15-20 years.Do you think that climate change has a leading role in these wildfires?We were always taught, or informed, that in southern Australia fires invariably started in late summer ,usually from late January.And that they started after noon when the fuel had time to dry out.This seemed to hold true until the last few years.
I probably do not listen or watch enough because I do not know what the Greens are saying?I'm only saying, in Eastern Australia a severe bushfire season comes along every 15-20 years.
How damaging the season is, depends on a variety of factors, including weather patterns, ignition sources (eg lightning, farm machinery, motor bikes, arson), and fuel quantity and dryness.
But the least of these factors, is a fraction of a degree up or down, depending upon whether we de-industrialize Australia and make electricity more expensive. This is the essential dishonesty and opportunism of the Greens, and those old buffer retirees on the TV atm.
What those old buffer retirees on the TV are doing, is cottoning on to the 'Tuvalu method' for extracting guilt money for a pet cause. That is, give us more money or there'll be a climate catastrophe..

It's not as though there haven't been fires previously and let's keep it in perspective. 4 deaths thus far from the current fires in NSW versus 173 dead from the Black Saturday fires in Victoria in 2009, 75 deaths across Victoria and SA from the Ash Wednesday fires of 1983 and 62 deaths in the Tasmanian fire disaster of 1967 with those three disasters each unfolding in a matter of hours. Listening to the media reports though, you could be excused for thinking the current situation was the worst disaster in Australian history.

Well, the other side is that the fires are across 3 States with WA being the latest affected, so while thankfully the death toll has reduced from those you mentioned the fires are more widespread.
do you really think PTSD is limited to people who are paid to kill people?
it’s not that simple at all, I have several mates that deal with ptsd to varying degrees who never had to kill people, but who’s jobs involved searching for IEDs, prolonged stress and pressure of trying to save people can be even more stressful that killing some one.
Much appreciate being pointed out as a complete idiot to hint that a lady doing male bashing running her DV agenda in a released speech next to a green leader can be assumed as left wingI think jumping the f****** shark is this strange compulsion to link any toxic comments with a political persuasion.
