First of all may I offer my deepest sympathy & condolances to all those directly impacted by the Fires. It is heartbreaking to see one's loved home and precious contents reduced to rubble not to mention the loss of life and injuries to loved ones. This is a national tragedy & not a platform for crass
keyboard politicians to pander to their ideologies irrespective which side of the fence they are on.

$2 billion is a lot of taxpayers funds earmarked by the government for national fire damage and we should all step back and let those with skin in the game speak ; particuluarly the victims and the Firies. Our volunteers 7 professional fire fighters as well as our armed forces should be really appreciated for their heroic efforts ( some have already payed the ultimate price) and for the battlers in the Bush who are weathering this firestorm
with grace.....something which we should be all very proud of. There is something of these people in all of us.

The actual causes of the fires are a parched Bush, spontaenous combustion & lightening strike and at this stage it is pointless & crass to push
political agendas about climate change whether that be by the Greens or Right Wing deniers or whether true or false.

First of all we have to address the victims needs, then the community & infrastructure rebuilding and then there's time for longer term remedies.
To haggle about climate change now is like relatives haggling about a will at a burial....just bad taste and absurd, IMO.

We are all saddened by this tragic & cruel natural event regardless of whether we are directly affected or not and we should have the good grace and manners to offer our condolences to the victims and the communities impacted rather than being like political pigs around an almost empty trough eating the faces off one-another fot the dregs!

In summary we should have the good manners to defer political point scoring until this tragedy is resolved and that looks like months rather than weeks, IMO.
