I love the Aussies. Their history of rugged independence is legendary; I’ve always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific.
The Covid tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad.
Individual liberty matters.
I stand with the people of #Australia
Throughout it all our teachers, school staff and early childhood educators haven't stopped doing what they do best.
Helping students learn, keeping our kids safe and explaining this overwhelming situation as best they can.
So I just wanted to say thanks - for everything.
Well that’s something you don’t see every day.
Scott Morrison telling #qt that he doesn’t control Australia’s borders.
Apparently cruise ships are a NSW govt issue.
It's clear that government funding cuts in the first instance, & rejections of extra funding in the second, have contributed to the severity of the fire catastrophe.
Think of that the next time you hear someone extol the virtues of a budget surplus & low government spending
@mirandadevine I'm a CC sceptic too, or was. In rural NSW, at best, we had one day over 40° in Dec. This Dec we had 6! As a 24yr firefighter I never saw anything like these fires, nor has dad, & greens don't stop US hazard reducing, yet it's burning. Trees dad planted as a kid have died.
‘It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.’ — This historian wasn’t afraid to confront the billionaires at Davos about their greed
This is an environmental DISASTER and needs integrated Federal and State action. @ScottMorrisonMP and @GladysB the response to this is on you. Please RT if you agree we want to see a united, swift response. A bare beginning has to be reduction of water sucked out upstream.
