Breaking: A NSW bushfire originating from a blaze in the ACT is now at emergency warning level, with residents advised to leave as two areas come under ember attack

Those in the areas of Bredbo, Billingra, Jerangle, Anembo, Williamsdale, Bumbalong and The Angle are advised to be ready to take action, should fire hit.

Severe fire danger ratings and total fire bans will be in place for the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, Far South Coast, Monaro Alpine, Southern Ranges, Southern Slopes and the ACT. The Clear Range fire originated from the Orroral Valley fire, which was most likely caused by an army MRH-90 helicopter that was in the area supporting bushfire operations this week.

Hang on, didn't ScottyfromMarketing claim that bushfires are a State issue? Has someone told the bushfires that they're not allowed to cross State and Territory boundaries?

No bail for NSW man accused of 1982 murderA NSW man accused of murdering his wife almost four decades ago has been refused bail despite his lawyer contending she may not be dead. Surprised his lawyer didn’t introduce a sudden bout of Mental illness..... or is that his next excuse Reminds me of Sue Neill Fraser in Tassie who managed to get convicted for murder on assumptions alone. Surely justice is only done when the evidence is concrete and beyond question. Otherwise it's a witch trial and not actual justice.

Morrison government strikes major energy deal with NSWNearly $3 billion will be pumped into NSW to increase gas supplies, bolster the energy network and reduce carbon emissions in a major deal between the Morrison and Berejiklian governments Dressed like a grub, talks like a grub. Is a grub. When is this imbecile going to resign? ScottyfromMarketing ScottMorrisonMP AustralianFires AustralianOpen When will reports like this include green house gas & energy reconciliation info. Preferably they should clearly demonstrate reductions in greenhouse gas emitted / unit of energy produced. If not then a good reason why not. What a joke. Put a price on carbon and implement a phase out of fossil fuels. Just kicking the can down the road once again.
