Another Parliamentarian fires up
 Well,
I’ve always said politicians are wankers - not to mention
two-faced, lying scumbags - but one of the perks porkers has
proven that they are extreme morons as well.
How about this. The National Party MP (Moron Parliamentarian)
Andrew Fraser has been in the news recently by getting stuck
into firefighters and the National Parks and Wildlife Service
for not doing enough hazard reduction in New South Wales to
avoid the current bushfire crisis.
But, the Moron Parliamentarian found himself with an extremely
red face after he accidentally (we hope) burned down two hectares
of state forest.
How? You ask.
Well, it seems our none-too-clever chap was doing a bit of
hazard reduction on his Coff’s Harbour property and nipped
off to have a cuppa. While he was downing the fluids it came
to his attention that his hazard reduction was roaring into
the Lower Bucca State Forest at a gazillion kilometres an
hour.
Fortunately for the MP - and for the local wildlife - there
were two brigades of his favourite firefighters conducting
hazard reduction nearby and they raced to the scene to aid
their political nemesis.
According to fire chiefs they had to “throw everything
at it” to stop it getting out of control.
The MP later fessed up to the fact he should not have begun
the burn-off during the morning and admitted (mark this
down as a first for a pollie) he had been careless.
The Fire-ies big boss, Phil Koperberg, was extremely tactful
when he said: "Given the difficulties volunteers have
to face on a daily basis, I am disappointed that someone who
purports to be aware of the hazards, would allow a situation
to develop where property was endangered and volunteers were
called to suppress a fire."
Personally, I think he should have given the MP a massive
serve and had him charged with arson - arson about with fires
that is!
Anyway, Andrew, you MP, best keep your trap shut and your
brain engaged for a while before saying anything in public
again.
What a twit...
