  They only brought in a ban on disposal BBQs today after dithering about it for ages.

  A reluctance to do anything practical but they are very trigger happy in abusing an emergency alert system.

      Make the fossil fuel industry pay for solar panels.

  Even better, an hour or two after it was sent a local business set off fireworks. Fucking stupidity everywhere.

  Felt like an underlining of their new policy to ban adjust the guidelines to voluntarily stop the use of disposable BBQs. They are under a lot of pressure to actually do some mitigation since water is running low and crops are failed but apparently this was the actual action, banning BBQs and alerting everyone to that new guideline!!!

    Only disposable BBQs, which I support because they are shit to cook on.
