one year since a single bolt of lightning at Gospers Mountain started one of the most devastating bushfires in Australian history.
One year on, residents and community leaders are calling for more action to be done to reduce climate change, to ensure such a catastrophe never takes place again. “We were heavily affected by the Grose Valley fire and the Gospels Mountain fire, both of which came incredibly, incredibly close to my house on both sides.”Luca evacuated to Victoria with her sister, and the pair were separated from their parents for three days, who stayed back to defend their house against apocalyptic conditions.
Luca said it was “incredibly frustrating” for bushfire survivors to see how the federal government responded to the crisis.

Victoria Police not investigating Vatican payments allegedly linked to Pell trialVictoria Police has received information about payments from the Vatican to Australia from the financial crimes regulator, but says without 'any other evidence or intelligence' it is not investigating further. amazing ! and the banks get pounded and fined for not reporting suspicious transfers It doesn't matter as Austrac has confirmed the AFP are investigating. It may be a nothing case, but we need to see why 700,000€ were sent from the Vatican to Australia. The feral left wing calling for a Federal ICAC would remove this case from such a commission. Thats because its a waste of tax payers money , Pell pleaded guilty to knowing what was happening and turned a blind eye . He is a paedophile.
