That won’t even rebuild one community centre!

Note PM gets seventeen Billion a year off taxing the fuck out of cigarettes..Where most bottlers smoke ..So start putting a thew billion back into the Fires ... like aircraft water bombers a fleet of them ours not hire but buy

Hey PM see if the Clinton foundation will step up and send some help attack the fires.. We did give them more than 860 million for there foundation..Note not a word from them ..Hello Clinton's hope you read this...

ScoMo must ensure strings on the $1m are for common sense, effective initiatives, not ‘wokescold’, eco-greenie-activist things like ‘climate-poet-in-residence’. Monitor every cent in short timeframe, so not just banking it for interest growth while they ponder ‘program grants’.

So a couple percent of this year's franking credits 😂 😂 😂

a kind reminder: Experts said Glacier National Park would be ice-free by 1948, and 1961 and 2002 and 2020 and 2044. The climate alarmist clown show never ends.

Elton John joins flood of celebrity donations to fire relief, matching Chris Hemsworth's $1mSir Elton John receives a standing ovation at a concert in Sydney after pledging $1 million for Australia's bushfire relief efforts. Why is the ABC ignoring that Morrison and Trump are in a bromance? Are we going to fight Trump's mess in Iran? Which will lead to war with Iran, Russia and China? It's kind of a big deal. Where is our media or do we need to rely on piersmorgan ? glad theyre getting much needed funding to help however i cant help but feel celebrities are using it to make themselves look better all donations should be kept confidential. just saying!
