I completely believe this dude would squad up with the Prime minister.
I hope that at the very least this disaster will mobilize the rest of the world into something resembling action.
More and more I'm starting to feel it is /extremely/ counter productive to frame this opposition as a right or left leaning 'political preference' when a simple good / evil distinction seems much more accurate.
Striking how quickly he makes the connection to inequality and classism.

Don't know if posted before:
And this for good news:
When an adult star/sex worker is doing more not only than the average person but ScoMo.

Yeh I miss him as well....but unfortunately I don't think he could have done much more than what they currently doing in trying to save all the affected wildlife. They are all doing a fantastic job.
The impact to the flora and fauna will be felt forever. :(
The NakedPhilanthropist I posted earlier about (#456) is now at 500K. Thirsty ppl and that lady saving lives. This kind of puts the fascist cunts in Aussie gov to shame.
Even more Firefighters from my province of Alberta are heading out to help. Say what you want about our province, but we generally have good people who understand the plight of what fires do.
The international teams of firefighters who've flown in to help (especially the ones who gave up their Christmas to be here) have been huge news in Australia. They might be small numbers-wise, but their impact, especially in terms of morale, is huge.
I don't know if it's been reported yet, but the US is sending 20 firefights over. Good news.
The US was sending firefighters over before Christmas. On the day when they arrived Sydney it was experiencing the worst smoke I've ever seen, and they gave one of the best quotes as they stepped off the plane: "Smells like it's time to get to work."
I wish you guys well and a speedy recovery over there.

I wonder what my dad would have thought of all this. It's hard to be optimistic for the future.
Russel Crowe won a golden globe but wasnt there because he was in Australia and had them read a message about the devastation because of climate change. So getting more exposure.
Apparently some of the CL-415 Water Bombers have been reported to be deployed, according to various early commentary on twitter(if you see a strange yellow and red aircraft flying around, that is it). Capable of near instant(takes about a minute) reloads of water, while in mid-flight(using nearby bodies of water instead of a water station), earning the nickname, Super Scooper.
These are the specific aerial firefighting planes that former NSW Fire & Rescue chief Greg Mullins was asking the government to request assistance from. They were just sitting overseas, as our fire season isn't set to begin for another 5-6 months.

Man, he really just tries to make everything such a fake PR/Marketing opportunity.
He should have just accepted the offers for assistance that went out months ago.
Why do climate change deniers always have heads that look like the result of a Beetroot fucking a side of Gammon?
Estimates for the animals killed in the fire is now a billion. And that's the conservative estimate.

I'm mostly just surprised how the entire country can literally be on fire, and yet the guy has his head up his arse...
I'm excited to be apart of an Aussie rules exhibition game raising funds for the fires and although we have a lowly fund goal of $800 every cent counts for these people affected and even to help build up Mallacoota bigger and better than ever and is still one of my favourite Holiday spots.
FYI this image is a bit misleading
The press and media shouldn't even give time to people like this. They're as much to blame for people's ignorance as anyone.
He's a member of parliament. Yes, he's a fucking embarrassment to humanity, but he's a democratically elected embarrassment. *sigh*
This is a worldwide catastrophe and is in need for much more attention then some thingy like the US - Iran situation.
Saw some hearth breaking footage yesterday of a koala trying to avoid the fire and walking over burning ground.
Was injured and screaming but saved by a local…

How could someone like the prick that is now leading Australia ever got to his position in the first place.
I mean, how.
I mean, how.
It's not even like the two deaths were breaking news that he might not have known!
It's been three days, he's a busy man. You can fuck up so many times in three days he must have lost track.
These news cheer me up today, Patsy the wonder dog
And so nice to see that nature is resilient

About the bots that started the 'Arsonists started these fires not climate change' rumour that's started up recently...
"A number of the tweets took police figures out of context and claimed almost 200 arsonists had been arrested in NSW."
"An article posted by an American far-right figure went one step further, claiming left-wing ecoterrorists were responsible for lighting the blazes."
"It has been shared almost 100,000 times across Facebook, Twitter and Reddit and reached a potential 2.8 million accounts — significantly more than general bushfire fact checks."

🤦♂️ 🤦♀️
my head hurts now. . . .
Oh cool. The government is just straight up stealing labour from firefighters.
I knew that compensation was BS the moment liberal announced it, the last thing they would want to do is give back tax to those that need it.
Yeah. Full time firefighters here get paid normal wages.
But the Rural Fire Service (RFS) in New South Wales is a volunteer organisation. The government provides funding for training and equipment and the like, and then the volunteers can get called up if there's an emergency in their area to help fight fires. They're unpaid volunteers. The idea is that in an emergency people can be called in to help save their towns. For a short term fire emergency it works well.
What we're seeing now are extremely prolonged fires over unprecedented areas. The Gospers Mountain Fire for example has been burning for months, and has been fought in large by unpaid volunteers. A volunteer system just can't cope. The government has been pressured into offering some sort of compensation, so they've rushed something into place, and, surprise surprise, it sucks.
Volunteer Firies are such massive heroes, they deserve to be treated like it. It's appalling that the Morrison government had to be pressured in to actually compensating them and that they seem to be turning it in to just a some cheap PR. Just fucking pay them what they're worth.
