We need to start considering the ability to provide Aboriginal knowledge of the land and all the elements in it as "Common Sense" and good practical knowledge that can actually make suppression/containment more relevant. Getting the right people in the room with local knowledge has always been a challenge (regardless of skin colour), we need to start these discussions in the Bush Fire Management Committees first! To do this we need commitment for the long game from individuals both Fire agencies and Local Aboriginal Land Councils.
