Australia burns Xmas 2019

Australia burns Xmas 2019 from the worst bush fires ever experienced in this great country. As of January 4th 2020 a total of 18 people have died nationwide, and in the state of New South Wales alone, more than 900 houses have been destroyed. Sadly almost half a billion animals have been killed with fears entire species may have been wiped out. Ecologists from the University of Sydney now estimate 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have been lost since September with the figure likely to continue to soar.

Losing so many animals is heartbreaking

Unprecedented temperatures across the continent have made this season’s fires particularly deadly, killing at least 20 people and bringing apocalyptic scenes to an area roughly twice the size of Belgium.

One of our courageous fire fighters

 The NSW Rural Fire Service, which has over 74,000 volunteer members, said that as of December 22, at least 829 homes have been destroyed in fires, including 100 homes in the last week.

How heartbreaking would this be?

Australia gives foreign aid totaling over $4 billion a year, Scott Morrison would be a hero if he cancelled all aid for 2020 & used it to rebuild every lost home & business caused by these horrific fires. Sadly though it’s not going to happen.

Many country towns have been devastated

I would be happy to see everyone who lost a home or a business given a $25K handout from government to help with the trauma they have suffered. Hold back foreign aid for 6 to 12 months, of course this will have an effect of a lot of the criminals who are using our aid money for their own benefit.

New Guinea for instance purchased 40 Maserati’s & 3 Bentley’s, despite their high levels of poverty, multiple health crises and shortages of basic services. Wander around the streets of Phnom Penh & see the Hummers & luxury vehicles driven by government officials, where do you bloody well think the money comes from?

Oh, and lets not forget Thailand where Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan has appeared in public wearing 25 different high-end timepieces, with a total estimated value of $1.5 million. How did he afford these I wonder?

Hold back the aid & have a massive project to replant forests & set up areas where animals & birds can be bred to replace some of the millions we have lost. Let’s be “stingy” towards other countries & look after Australia first. I nearly forgot that we give Indonesia $300 million a year, & they don’t particularly like us, but in 2018 they spent about $400 million on attack helicopters, I wonder if we may see them in the sky over Darwin sometime in the future?

So many kangaroos lost….

So terrifying for these poor animals.

How brave are these wonderful individuals?

Sadly some didn’t make it, RIP.

Two volunteer firefighters, Geoffrey Keaton, 32, and Andrew O’Dwyer, 36, died when their truck overturned battling the Green Wattle Creek blaze.

We owe so much to these brave people

There have been 10 deaths from the fires in NSW and Victoria so far this week, about half the total toll for the current fire season. Twenty-one people remain unaccounted for in Victoria, down from 28 reported Friday.

These guys & their colleagues deserve all the praise we can give them

Let’s hope they will be properly compensated for their effort.

Good way to be safe

Just head for the beach. 🙂

Kangaroo Island

Almost half of Kangaroo Island has been scorched as damage assessments continue into the devastating bushfires still burning on the South Australian island.

Smoke on Kangaroo Island

Overnight, many residents and tourists evacuated to Kingscote where they spent a sleepless night on the town’s oval and close to the jetty. Evacuees and residents have been stranded with many road closures still in place.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison

Finally I really wish people would stop criticizing Scott Morrison, he didn’t start the bloody fires, he seems to be a genuine nice fellow, sadly however the Greenies & the loony left wind Labor losers can’t help themselves. Take a look at this NEWS BULLETIN.
