Bushfires 2019/2020!

Maybe so. Or we can read the wonderfully useful Gerard Henderson in The Aus.

Likewise the red (sugar-free) bandana man when he eventually returns to the SMH.

Nice try get me outta here but the 2 idiots put their video up on their facebook page.

Some hopefully useful rain is about to reach many of the fire affected areas:

Having watched it I reckon ScoMo should sack whoever was responsible - send them back to their natural milieu of selling dodgy insurance and used cars.

he is providing strong leadership (now) and doing what needs to be done - it doesn’t need to be “sold”.

Agree with the first sentence; not so sure on the second but at least there is some action now, whether I would call is strong leadership.mmmmm. However, not to put too fine a point on it, the ad was appalling and the message should have been presented as a media release plus statement from PM for social media, and from the Australian Government not the party.

Disagree his reaction to bad press constitutes strong leadership FM but agree he’s at least doing something now and hopefully has woken up to the community’s concerns.
In terms of “sacking who was responsible” the ad clearly closed with “Authorised by S. Morrison” so that would be himself.

Originally when it went out, it had a big ‘donate’ button to the liberal party as well.

Whew, that’s lucky I thought ‘we’ were talking about the day mail.

That is my beef with the whole Climate Change movement. It involves much passion and ranting, but what real aims does it have??

....

I know right, don’t they know the Earth is flat?

I am finding he is doing what I want - bringing in the reserve, paying volunteers etc etc. I think the authorised thing is a legal requirement and I wonder how often the people actually do authorise it. If he did then I agree he’s a wallly.

Getting away from politics and back to the fires. Canberra is really eerie today. Such heavy smoke cover there was an orange glow from the sun this morning and now it’s a sickly yellow colour. Our AQI is 3153/812. Southside is the place to be (Cossie and others) where they are only 1655/443

off to bake a chocolate cake now for my next door neighbour. His wife has fled to Sydney with their very vulnerable little boy and seems to be having a great time, while the rest of the family look after the animals and struggle with the smoke. I thought a bit of junk food wouldn’t go astray (and he does like my baking).

Happy baking! The smoke is so weird and it's been around for a long time now. In 2003 it was never this bad before the fires hit.

I am not surprised - I was just reading Bright orange, then pitch black as Qantas flight hits turbulence in fire's cloud

this was Melbourne to Canberra

ACT is being given 100,000 P2 masks by the Federal govt. Going to be distributed to vulnerable people - almost impossible to buy any in Canberra but I have bought some online. Particularly want them for Ms FM (pregnant) and SIL who is a landscape gardener. He was supposed to be back working tomorrow but I don’t think he is going to.

 

[VPS]

Just remember if you use a P2 mask make sure it is fitted securely. We used to have to be fitted with ours to make sure they were the right ones for us. Good luck

I know I am a bit concerned about that - people are going to be given instructions on how to use them with the freebies. Will have to investigate - I feel sure there is a YouTube - or maybe Dr FM knows.

Dr FM probably got sized up as part of her med training. We all were anyway.

Ove $20 million raised by Aus comedian. Staggering effort. So well done. Celeste Barber speaks out about her staggering fire relief fundraiser

The pictures of the injured wildlife on KI are just distressing. I’m trying to find a donation site to give to the wildlife rescue people in KI and can’t find anything. Don’t want to give via the Govt Dept. Edit Found it on their FB page.
