Firestick Estate Inc’s “…informed and science based advocacy…” for the mitigation of extreme bushfires in Australia, is explained in the book “mass murder” and the coverups (click here for official book endorsement).

Almost two years later, in April 2026, a 34 minute Audio Review of both the book and this website, went further than the book’s unconditionally endorsed disclosures of government criminal negligence. It made a legal finding, that when the Prime Minister – supported by his Attorney-General (Australia’s first Law Officer) – used the words “mass murder”, it established a legal and moral intent for the deaths from the 2009 Black Saturday Fires, in which:

“…173 Australians burned to death in a single afternoon…the Prime Minister went on national television and called the deaths mass murder…When a leader uses a phrase like mass murder, they are legally and morally establishing intent…the catastrophe was actually engineered in air conditioned government offices through ignored science, manipulated data, and just a fundamental refusal to manage the landscape” (0.00 to 1.15m).

The Audio Review then provides a forensic overview on:

• The definition of fuel (the campfire rule) (2.50 to 8.00m)
• Government warning system failures (8.00 to 13.45m)
• Politicians plausible deniability rule (15.30 to 17.40m)
• Attorney-General’s strategic error (17.40 to 20.40m)
• Warning video Don’t Wait and See (20.40 to 22.40m)
• Government’s holocaust plan (Residual Risk) (22.40 to 24.50m)
• Media propaganda buster (The Weekly Times) (25.20 to 31.15)
• Our Victory 2026 (see website menu) (31.15 to 32.50m)

The Audio Review concludes by stating the book and this website provides insights into more recent government ‘manufactured disasters’, that:

“…we are told are just unavoidable tragedies…(but are)…actually manufactured disasters. Whether it is a failing public health infrastructure, a collapsing power grid…acts of administrative negligence…” (33.40 to 34.39m, Click here for Book/Website Audio Review).

Following the Black Saturday Fires in 2009, our advocacy was local. We focused on the State of Victoria’s Shire of Nillumbik, one of Australia’s 537 local government municipalities. In 2013, we concluded that careful process with a Paper co-authored by an internationally acclaimed expert.

“Mr Packham co-authored a Paper with us, which attracted a flash of publicity and rare government/media responses. Those responses did not refute one word of our 100 page Paper (Bushfire Death Trap – The Eltham Gateway and additional documents interactive in the online version, Packham & Malseed, 13 March 2013). Two weeks after we published ‘elthamsdeathtrap’, the State of Victoria’s prime evening television news bulletin gave ‘top billing’ to our Paper. Subsequently, it appeared to us the story had been ‘shut down’” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2025, Chapter 1 , page 21, Top billing in one day’s ’News’) (click here for TV News Report).

In 2014 our campaign on mitigating extreme bushfires, switched to the fiduciary responsibility of the Federal government for those infrequent but exceptionally damaging fires. Over the next seven years, we sent 29 letters to the Prime Minister and others, urging them to take responsibility for the extreme bushfires they funded. 

From 2021 to 2025 our President, Tim Malseed wrote a book about the government’s responses to those letters. The book’s Foreword is written by Australia’s preeminent bushfire experts, both internationally awarded; Phil Cheney PSM, BSc (For.), The Ember Award 2010 (USA) and David Packham OAM MAp Sci, The Philip J. DiNenno Prize 2017 (USA).

On July 1 2024, the Australian government Shadow Minister for Science and Manager of Opposition Business in the House, named and endorsed the book: “Thanks for sending me a copy of your book ‘Mass Murder’ and the coverups These are very serious public safety issues and your informed and science-based advocacy is a valuable contribution” (click here for Book endorsement).

We believe the unconditional endorsement by the senior Shadow Minister, who entered Parliament after the Black Saturday Fires in 2009, was supported by the Government and Opposition. In our opinion, they could not say it in writing, because of a well founded fear about being blamed for their failures, before and after the Black Saturday Fire’s deaths.

 “Plausible deniability was already their standard operating procedure for most extreme bushfire issues. In our opinion, the government knew they were being negligent and as long as they could deny later in government Courts, they would continue to deny responsibility” (“mass murder” and the coverups, 2025, Chapter 7, page 56, Government history of plausibly denying accountability).
