NE NSW fires – were large aircraft working last night?

Grafton radar showed 2 large smoke plumes 4.53pm 8Oct so blind freddy could see these were large events.

The Grafton and Marburg radars are mainly clear now.
This morning ABC news say 30 houses have gone at Ewingar and Rappville.
I have advocated for years that our large air tankers should be incorporated into the RAAF and managed independently of State bureaucracies. The Tathra fires showed how union rivalries affected fire fighting which is an utter disgrace that I have not seen followed up. My main concern is that people are going to die due to poor management of the large air tankers.

  1. I heard a few quick words on ABC TV news last night from NSW Fire Boss that aircraft did not work due to conditions. I assumed it referred to night and I assumed he referred to the large air tankers. Did not hear the question clear, as usual media questions are very faint.

  2. I heard similar on ABC News24 TV – very little said – almost like an arranged question and a pre-formed answer.
