Is it the same short bus you're on? Given that along the way they're going to encounter resistance, they'd have neither the time nor the man power to implement such bullshit.

Not feasible.
how isnt it

the police go along hours before hand advising people of the danger and explaing that now they must choose to stay and defend, in which case, pack up the kids and put them on the bus, or evacuate, in which case, pack up the kids and get in the car

Yeah im fucking stupid mate, sorry about that. Seriously though screw you i'm not talking about the perfect world, im talking about a fucking fire coming towards your house and you seriously think a 17 year old is not capable (even with out training) of defending or deciding for themselves what to do?

fuck you are dumb

because 18 is the arbitrary age limit at which you are given complete autonomy (in a perfect world)
There is no such thing. Your argument is now rendered null and void.

A bush fire can reach/encircle/cut off route of escape in minutes.

Haha yeah mate guess what, the legal age a girl can say "i want to have sex with you" is sixteen dumbass. And thats her total choice, a choice that could potentially seriously upset or even cause harm to her such as unplanned pregnancy or STI's

I realise that, but bushfires do not come out of nowhere, and this new policy states that anyone in a bushfire affected area, not just the direct path will be contacted etc

Yes a 17yr old with no training will no be adequately capable of deciding for themselves

this is why

the government

has imposed a 18yr age limit on when you are considered an adult

Haha yeah mate guess what, the legal age a girl can say "i want to have sex with you" is sixteen dumbass. And thats her total choice, a choice that could potentially seriously upset or even cause harm to her such as unplanned pregnancy or STI's
that is because, physical maturity happens before mental maturity, and having sex has minimal risks compared to fighting a bushfire

i added in a perfect world because no one has complete autonomy in this country m8

therefore it is relative autonomy

In some instances they have hours.

In other instances they don't. Read the transcripts from the Black Saturday Royal Commission.

"I had received no communications or warnings from the CFA inrelation to the imminent threat

Again to suggest that this is feasible is dumb.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Mate look at the stats, more people die from STD's than bushfires lol. And guess what 17 year olds can decide for themselves. A 17 year old can CHOOSE to join the Defence Force for example. A 16 year old can CHOOSE to join the RFS, yes sure you need parental consent but for the defence force, if you have reason its not needed.

And another thing, 16 years old has nothing to do with physical growth or readiness in regards with sex, its a mental and maturity thing.

I'm Not trying to refer to the RFS im referring to this idiot who truly believes that as soon as a girl turns 16 she is magically physically ready for sex.

You will have read that the forward warning systems were inadequate also, i am thinking with the premise that they will be upgraged to an adequate level

and sure, this system may not work every time but it is still feasible a lot of other times

shut the fuck up you wanker

- a lot more people have sex than are caught in bushfires
- an std has a lot less chance of killing you

an 17yr old requires their parents permission to join the defence forces, therefore it is not anautonomous decision

once again, shut the fuck up

obviously not

THIS IS WHY AN ARBITRARY AGE LIMIT OF 16 HAS BEEN SET FOR CONSENT TO SEX

Forget this argument about 16-18 year olds for a moment.

Looking at younger children

It's child abuse for a child of 8 years old to be kept in a house that is faced with serious fire danger, and if their parents won't remove them, the child should be forcible taken from them and placed into care for the duration of the risk.

If I said yes to an age limit, then why not consider controlling the senile, insane and disabled?
The senile and insane are commonly institutionalized against their will.
