MORE than 600 grass fires have been started deliberately in the past 3 weeks in South Wales. As soon as there is a slight hint of sunshine, the little arsonists are out to play. This is one of the most offensive crimes I have seen whilst living in Wales.
As an Australian, it leaves me speechless that this is apparently ‘common’ every summer. People lose their homes, livelihoods and lives in Australia from bush fires every year - and in the instance of a fire started by arsonists, they would be jailed for life.
While new South Wales is facing deadly storms, South Wales is facing deadly adolescents and delinquents, with no accountability.
