Well we were expecting this. Like many are saying this is so the high speed rail link can go in the place where some the “bushfires” happened along the East coast. However, it is not wise to build a house in the middle of bushland and then when a bushfire happens, expecting fire fighters to put their lives at risk all because you want to live in the middle of bushland.
I am not shocked but I am disgusted at what people with big money can do. They can destroy any one they see fit. Especially if there is something that they want.
Roll on the smart cities project. Actually it is already underway. All cities are to become smart cities.
Update : January 2022

But it makes some interesting reading after the fires. Only time will tell and the vigilance of those that are watching for the shoe to fall.
Do you recall the media calling people conspiracy theorists; for saying that there was an agenda to the bushfires, because there were plans to build a high speed rail network from Melbourne to Brisbane?
They should publicly show the all proposed blueprints for this rail network and compare it to the bushfire route to allay people’ s concerns.
Update: December 2022. Remember the media were saying it was a conspiracy theory?
