garbage-tier rightwing media - lol
By golly, I dont care how many videos of laughing muslims you watch..:this was global warming or you are going to jail
Maybe struggling to preserve the global warming agenda
Ok, I guess they were just starting other fires then.
Meanwhile, the evidence that the fires were started by “Climate Change” is incontrovertible.
I assume you are correct, but the misleading click bait BS about the number of arrests really hurts the credibility of anyone arguing the point.
Looks like PC is alive and well in Ausie Land.
Dont want to loose me cushy job dont cha know
Pathetic attempt to parse the facts to obstruct the truth Typical Leftist garbage propaganda
The commie screed writers don’t bother checking their facts. This from the lefty Age newspaper https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/man-charged-with-starting-bushfire-in-east-gippsland-as-blazes-rage-20200102-p53oap.html
They will lie until we die. It is amazing.
For example, the awful Binna Burra fire in September was blamed on climate change. Instead it turned out to be caused by two teenagers with cigarette butts. Who looks silly pushing a carbon tax agenda to stop fires?
So The Guardian and the ABC are now compiling stories with conspiracy theories about how a thousand or so tweets with a pedantic error mistaking legal action for arrests somehow demonstrates a mysterious disinformation campaign (its pro-ject-ion.)

Spontaneous combustion due to climate change heat? Paper needs 451 degrees to combust on its own.
“Nothing to see here, you looky-loos!”
Exactly. Good post.
What caused the fires if not humans? Do they give an explanation in the article?
The article says this....buried down in the body of the article.
“But a Rural Fire Service spokesman told Sky News on Wednesday that the majority of the larger fires in the state were caused by lightning, and that arson was a relatively small source of ignition.
Arsonists have been responsible for some of the bushfires this season though specific numbers are not yet available. There is also no doubt that arson remains a serious problem in Australia, particularly during heightened periods of fire danger. Arsonists have been responsible for some of Australias worst fires, including a fire that killed 10 people on Black Saturday in 2009.”
That is a far cry from none of the fires have been caused by arson and the lead of the article suggests.
I read one or two of those “right-wing” reports, and I knew everything they just clarified, so I guess some of those “right-wing” news sources are in fact reporting the entire story.
On the other hand, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE that “NONE” of the fires were started by arson. This story confirms that multiple people have been arrested for arson DURING this firestorm. I’m sure not all of them are arson, but it is also stupid to pretend none of them are.
Note also: it isn’t just arson, a lot of fires are man-made, but mistakenly so. That’s the whole “we aren’t arresting all these people”, some of them are because of smokers throwing their lit cigarettes on the ground, or people doing cookouts when they are not allowed to now because things are so dry.
Seems like neither side’s media is interested in the unvarnished truth.
The people running the right wing (supposedly) click bait sites are just opportunists spewing any rumor to get clicks. The web is full of these scum.

I’m just a bit confused here. The outback is tinder dry because of a drought that has gone on for the last three years. If the fires were all started by lightning, doesn’t one have to assume rainstorms along with it, and, as far as I know that also means a lot of water as well. I must be missing something here.
