Hobart shows the way when it comes to lighting up people’s imagination when they build great fires.
If you want to light a fire in the middle of winter, Hobart Council is inclined to say YES!
Launceston however, well you’ll probably need seven kinds of permits from disinclined bureaucrats and then it’ll be NO anyway.
Hobart’s had a couple of good fires recently and the last was spectacular at the Festival Of The Voices.
Apparently, 5,000 people turned out!
Launcestonians need to know why the naysayers get their way all the time and where the dangers are actually perceived to be.
We have the SES to militate against all kinds of threats. Why not a CFB (Cultural Facilitation Brigade) with a licence to say YES?
We could even have a multifaceted ‘Festival of Fires’ but someone needs to be able to say “YES YOU CAN!”
Who was it in the USA who said something like that?
