I think Australian folk must now look at the situation, and understand that those areas that are damaged, the homes, businesses, the families and communities that suffered so greatly during the recent forest fire season (extended) need to be very much involved in and directing their recovery.
Government, The Australian State must provide total support, but not direction.
The Colonised, and a man with a plan, backed by a gun, he having being assimilated into the colonial system such that he guards his chained brothers, that they might not escape.
It is the lives of those people, in that land that must, given the context, set out future policy that will affect them directly - their autonomy and their love for the land has never been more important.
The State can and should maintain oversight, in it's role as a supporting agency - this recovery work will need to be studied as it rolls out and adjusted as results emerge, and the local people must therefore have all of that information and be the core decision making group on overall policy as it affects them, their lands, their children into the future, and they deserve free unfettered access to the best skills and information available to support their decision making and efforts.
Local deliberative democracy.
Take a billion from each of Australia's billionaires - and weight it so they more they have, the more the contribute, so someone with 4 billion could drop half a billion someone with 14 billion could drop 2 billion, and not really be put out.
The Australian Government has plenty of cash available, it's called Taxation and State borrowing..
So too does it's Oligarchy, if they paid all their taxes fairly.
Give each of them an award, a medal and some honourable title for helping out. Assuage their narcissism, and get that cash.
There's plenty of cash, and it doesn't need to be a profit seeking investment.
The profit is happy people on happy land, developing a sustainable local economy.
They Australian folk really ought to be working with Aboriginal Culture and studying the dynamics of their cultural land sensitivity.
The Australian farmer, what ever is farmed must be supported to be re-skilled in perma-culture as one of many ways to engage proven tools of ecological rehabilitation.
The spirit of community that is already there, and move it into the 21st Century, to create a culture of healthy land and healthy peoples.
In essence, all this to arrive again, and to meet the already here, and integrate into this ancient culture that is a relationship, rather than a skin colour or a ceremony, a living relationship with an abundant land.
Reverse the damage of 1788.
The introduction of healthy land use will necessitate bringing more people to the land to hand tend, instead of machines and robots and bio-cides.
The Australian State needs to cede Aboriginal title where there are existing Aboriginal communities on traditional lands. Let them be, for they are totally a valid lane tenure polity.
I am saying this direct to you, the folk of burned Australia, your friends and families, your neighbours and compatriots and commatriots.
This could help build the bridge among rural Australia that brings you back to the people you did not heed, to meet again, this time as sharers, carers, nurturers, rather than the descendants of conquerors, colonisers and settlers.

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.
