Um.....30,000 plants.....burnning......

Wouldn't that just about get the entire state trashed for a week?

or at least where ever they are burning the shit.

 

HA. I just saw a late news update (its such trash news!) they had a clip of these unmarked police officers or helpers throwing the plants on to the fire with there backs to the camera (massive smoke cloud), then when they turned round, the smiles haha. Then they cut back to sandra sully, and she had the biggest grin on her face. hehheeehe.

Relatives from Dubbo said that a large amount of the smoke clouds did drift back onto the town and the police had to give warnings for people to stay inside or risk smoke inhalation.

The vast majority of teenagers spent the day roaming the streets..
