Thanks to OZschwitz environmentalist, native gardens are a killer on our doorstep

Tigers are native to India. Do Indians keep tigers in their gardens? Or allow them to roam their streets? No. They could kill someone. So why do we Australians feel a compulsion to surround our houses with native plants; grow them in suburban streets? They can kill people.

This is the key to the tragedies that devastate Australia every summer; the killer, highly flammable, native vegetation that we encourage close to our homes, dominating our gardens and streets.

It is arguably the main reason Canberra suburbs burned in 2003, why bush-hugging Kinglake in Victoria was devastated in 2009, why in Tasmania, with its fine, shrubby, quickly flaring coastal vegetation set like kindling against houses, so many were destroyed during bushfires this month.

The fashion, the compulsion, the fallacy that we are advancing environmental conservation by encouraging dangerous species into our immediate surrounds is helping to destroy the homes, towns, and lives they are believed to enhance.
