An elected Dutton-Littleproud Coalition Government will allow pastoralists in Northern Australia to benefit from an online fire management tool, after committing $2.5 million over three years to allow the crucial service to continue.

Farmers and environmentalists alike must be alarmed by the lack of action by State and Federal Governments on fire management but there is still time for urgent action across Northern Australia to prevent further destruction.  As bushfires begin to rage, time is still available to prioritise clearing firebreaks, backburning and banning any firelighting activities, particularly in national parks.
