Thread: Do city people care about the conditions in the bush?

I made a comment in a similar vein to my wife last night when seeing the event advertised. Surely donating the funds instead instead of burning them, even for one year, is not going to create a perceived affront to the precious.

I wouldnt be surprised if there weren’t bigger displays elsewhere

Sydney do about double that minimum..

The amount of money local business would make on the night would return that in tax tenfold.

No need to be party poopers

Happy new year

I don’t think you can compare........A couple of millions people plus 10 of thousands of tourist to a town with a couple of hundred???

I can find plenty more examples of wasted money in both cities and rural areas.

I’m pretty sure rural towns put on events for there target audience.....

Woe is me

Around our area schools & churches have fireworks at the drop of a hat , all the churches have there Christmas carrols why do they have to have to have fire works ? Fireworks have nothing to do with Christmas. And why do these good church goers have to put all the dogs in the suburb through all that stress. I am sure our poor dog is going to go through the glass doors .Most of our friends leave the Christmas Carrols before the fireworks start because the kids don't like them anyway.
