this is not a personal dig at you @SIMBAD , but money generated to city businesses do not help bushfire victims
and I could do a risk assessment of my back yard and still go ahead with a BBQ, but that would contravene the law
in essence, NSW broke there own fire ban laws, making them hypocrites
uncompassionate hypocrites considering bushfire victims
I'm just having a good old rant for the first day of the year
I understand that people love to see fireworks
but this year maybe, just maybe, the powers that be could have cancelled because of extenuating circumstances
ie: 10 people dead in bushfires, over 700 homes destroyed etc, etc
