Bushfire poll [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Yes, I was going to say that this Murdoch-owned
broadsheet has a history of publishing anti-environmentalist opinion -
notably the opinion of climate change denier Mark Steyn, as well as that
of right-wing commentators such as Miranda Devine and Alan Wood, who both
praised the Bjorn Lomborg book The Skeptical Environmentalist.  
 The right-wing views come all the way from the top, with the Editor-in-Chief
being Chris Mitchell, and filter down.

Some subscribers to Canberrabirds
will no doubt be aware that my post about the Bushfire poll was simply
pasted from a post on Birding-aus. I probably should have deleted the "please
vote" bit and simply left the link.
 
There have been many comments
and differing views on Birding-aus about the value of the poll, the simplicity
of the question and the issues, and the objectives of the Australian and
its editors, but I still feel that it was worth bringing the existence
of the poll to COG's attention.
