Bushfire recovery fund to get $2 billion over two years

At least $2 billion will be put into a bushfire recovery fund over the next two years to kickstart Australia's rebuild from a horror fire season.

Mr Morrison said 20 Service Australia pop-up shops would open in fire-affected communities to make sure people can access disaster payments and other government services.Centrelink debt recovery and mutual obligations will be suspended for at least two months in fire-affected regions.

All the while Australians will donate (subsidise) fossil fuel companies 24 BILLION DOLLARS in 2020.... And in 2021 and in 2022 etc etc etc

Not entirely correct SMH ... re read

This won't even get spent before the next round of ClimateChange driven fires start to burn.

Will have plenty of money billions from obsolete Submarines they should cancel. America trialling Drone subs. 100 foot long . One man operation

Great news! But get ready for the pork barrelling and contracts for Liberal mates.

Where will this money be coming from please?!?

Surely after this widespread devastation from climate change, the Adani operations in Queensland should cease immediately. AnnastaciaMP sussanley gautam_adani BBCWorld ABCaustralia CSIRO bushfireaustralia AustraliaBurns auspol

It’s not over yet!

So why not just say it will get $1b a year instead of trying to pretend it's more, and until the money appears & when we know where it's coming from I wouldn't be having a party! We know how bullshitboy likes to number fudge! Where is he pinching the $2b from? 💰💰💰

A spit in the ocean. 'The IMF estimates that annual energy subsidies in Australia total $29 billion, representing 2.3 per cent of Australian GDP. On a per capita basis, Australian fossil fuel subsidies amount to $1,198 per person.'

Wait how can they announce all this funding when the bush fire season has only just started? Is there something they know we don’t? How do they know it’s not gonna be 10x as bad as it already is? Hmm

ScottMorrisonMP Now declare a Climate Emergency and start implementing policies to combat climate change and stand up to the fossil fuel industry. NotMyPrimeMinister DearYourMajesty Scummo

Until he announces a change in climate change policy, all he is doing is allocating OUR MONEY as appeasement. He can go and get f*%ked.

'Turn Back The Fires' policy?

AUD2bio over 2years - Franking Credit thieves get AUD11bio annually.

Nice one. I love how Australians are already on target to be donating more in cash than this since you can guarantee that $2bn comes with incompetence and over management.

As long as the franking credits are saved

Recovers from not planning for Climate Change....

Frydenberg has said he is doing everything possible but he hasn't reversed his decision to defund the environment portfolio by 30%. Our environment department has not been managed carefully. It has been hacked away at and expert advising capacity lost. Fund it properly. Now.

Although good news where is the rest going to come from? it is going to, sadly, take much more than that

What if ... SAVING OUR PLANET costs more money than governments can 'make' from all the trees?

To put it into perspective..that's the equivalent of 2 x Sydney Stadiums, folks

Shame we had to drag them kicking and screaming to do something...

Super work Mr Morrison.

Wow. First a bag of groceries. Now this!

Until next time and it will happen again unless we really clamp down on these arsonists and keep our forests maintained..

The fucking biased media isn't going to ask where the money is going to come from because it's not Bill Shorten. auspol

Yes...Help them urgently. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
