Thanks @Tommy-Englander. From what I have read and heard about Johnson it shouldn’t be a surprise that he has done nothing. Our PM, Scott Morrison, at the height of our bushfire crisis thought it would be a good idea to go to Hawaii for a holiday. When questioned about that one of his responses was “well I don’t hold a hose, do I”.
With respect to rain, fortunately the eastern states of Australia have had extensive rain in the past couple of weeks which has extinguished many of our fires. It will take many years to recover in particular with respect to the animals we have lost and in some cases they may never recover. It has been wonderful the support we have received from all over the world. There was a concert last week end to raise funds (around $10 million) that include Queen and Adam Lambert who reprised their entire 1985 Live Aid set. In my state of Western Australia we have another 4-6 weeks of our bushfire season in the south-west before we can expect any meaningful rain.
