  1. It seems no common sense as a Prime Minister. I felt for the wild animals the most who are the most vulnerable during fires.

  2. I won’t pile on. I am just proud and thankful for the professional fire fighters and what they are doing. They are the best!

  3. Another example of an elected official failing to heed the advance warnings provided by professionals with extensive experience. Too bad it is always hindsight, not foresight, that is 20/20. Best wishes for safety to all those involved in their endeavors to get the fires in Australia subdued.
