But Sydney's lord mayor Clover Moore said the fireworks would go ahead.
Ms Moore said she shared the "deep sympathies" of those who had signed the petition, but the fireworks were planned 15 months in advance and most of the budget had already been spent.
"We can't cancel the fireworks and even if we could, doing so would have little practical benefit," the lord mayor wrote on the petition's website.
However, Australians who signed the Change.org petition said a firework display would be an "insult".

OMG! One of my earliest childhood memories was going to a July 4th fireworks show and wondering what all the other kids were crying about.

“Extend sympathies”
How about a REAL Leader who said “buzz off you simpletons!”
“Sympathies” — I have NONE for these idiots.

In recent months, Australia has been grappling with severe bushfires due to record-breaking temperatures and severe drought.
New South Wales - where Sydney is located - is the worst-affected state, with nearly 100 fires burning.
The town of Balmoral, south-west of Sydney, was largely destroyed on 22 December and major roads south of the city have been closed.
All of which has absolutely nothing to do with a New Year's Eve celebration.
Just more prog wailing and moaning to get their way over something that has nothing to do with them.

Loud noises hurt tender ears. I got to the point where I wanted the entire sky lit up, horizon to horizon.

Bear in mind, Clover Moore is the archetypal leftie loonie politician.
To be fair, she’s currently showing a lot of guts standing up for common sense over this because she’s fighting her own base to do it.

If this f-tarded behavior was the norm in earlier generations we would have been totally dominated by our enemies. Australia would easily be a Japanese or German colony and maybe vaporized by the Soviets and let to rot to Mad Max society.

This petition exposed the utter ignorance of those who started and signed it.
All together now! Duh!

My favorite fireworks are just the loud flash bangs.

Besides Islamic terrorists have been telling American Muslims to start fires for over 10 years.
Probably the same thing in Australia.
