KINGSLEY FERDINANDS:  Burning wood, leaves, paper and some rubbish allowed

If elected to the Senate in 2013/14 Mr Ferdinands says, “Within 24 hours of the first day of the new Parliament I will introduce new legislation under the environment and air quality laws of the country to allow all home owners, residents and other persons to burn off wood, leaves, paper and some rubbish on their properties”.

This is a significant change to laws of clean air in the past but I do not think rubbish burning is going to cause too much air pollution or health hazards.

This is a new policy development to allow all home owners, residents and other persons to burn off wood, leaves, paper and some rubbish on their properties and clean up their backyards.
