Their deaths ought to way on GladysB' conscience. What was she thinking cutting funding to the NSWRFS in the midst of a drought? criminal nswfires nswbushfires auspol

Where are our reinforcements from other states? We are in northern NSW and the fire at Nightcap is out of control. There are literally thousands of people living in the dense forest up here because they are used to it being rainforest with a high rainfall. The dry combustibles!!

Youve lost credibility Stop tweeting

Victims of her insane policies.

I hope President Trump sends a message of empathy and doesn’t tell Queensland they should have raked the leaves.

shoutout to the boomers for doing this

Been there...hope all humans and critters stay safe🙏🏽❤️

Am I right in believing that Australia is no stranger to bush fires?

Love and hugs to all affected in Qld and NSW bushfires. I'm devastated for you. Take care.

Reminds me too much of our California fires. They’ve grown more deadly and destructive these past three years. Climate Change has worsened our fires, and I suspect Australia’s as well. I wish Australia the best. 🙏🏼❤️ Stay safe.

Agenda21

This is awful. If you are told to evacuate, please evacuate! Sending love from California!

God speed 🇦🇺

'Heed the warnings.' That's sage advice Gladys.

This is shocking

Unless the government don’t do more to reduce waste in the bush Victoria will have the same problems

DO SOMETHING GLADYS

I don't understand why we don't activate all our military helicopters during these crises Surely at least some of these people might be saved if they could call for help whilst trapped by flames and have a chopper come to their rescue? NSWbushfires NSWfires QLDFires NSWRFS

Can we have counts of properties lost not only in the fires of the last week, but Busbys Flat from 4 wks ago which is still burning? We had first fire threat Henribark in mid August (Rappville fire) and lost all on October 8.

Is the media blaming incels for this one yet?

Sacredwatercamp Someone needs to hog tie this man does he not know when to shut up

Is this a normal time if year for fires there ? Seems odd.

be safe all 🙏💜🙏

Trump will no doubt mail you all takes.

!!!!!

So sorry to hear this...💔 NSWbushfires nwsfires

Hmmmmm ok

😓praying they can get them all under control & everyone gets out of harms way 😓

Heart goes out to nsw and GlenInnes in particular friends n family there pls be safe . My nephew is a firey copter pilot water bomber and has beyond exhausted himself fighting this hell. Govt needs to bloody well DO Something !!!! auspol ScottMorrisonMP GladysB NSWRFS

Wouldnt be surprised in the least if some of these fires have been deliberately lit by climate alarmists to further their cause. To all the brave firefighters, professional and volunterrs, stay safe.

and may I be the first to say fuck Gladys and her government

🙏🙏

Shout out to Jocelyn Stubbs from Hotel 5 Motel for their generous response in putting up evacuees and feeding them all a hot breakfast. Amazing above and beyond effort.

So sad 😭 please bring on the rain

This is a state of emergency situation.

Declare a State of Emergecy and get the army in

BREAKING: fires called 'unprecedented' and treated in isolation to govt policy perpetuating climate change that caused the conditions for them.

Not enough firefighting resources- Gladys prioritised stadiums for Alan Jones GladysB JodiMcKayMP NSW Inc.

Thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in nswfires qldfires. Stay safe Firies!

If you are in the woke brigade the word 'arson' suddenly gets erased from the dictionary!

We need a national Fire Disaster Strike to support our volunteer fire fighters. We can't expect them to go into these hellscapes month after month, year after year!

Well she cut Rural Fire Service funding by 72.5%, what did she think would happen when were talking about three quarters of there funding being removed, how did she think they were going to able to continue to provide services, people are dead now, hope she feels good about it.

You know what, just like with gun massacres, NOW IS THE TIME to talk about Climate change. Failing to act on climate change is facilitating a longer, earlier and more intense fire season, which is killing people. Politicians who have failed to act are culpable. auspol

And Berejiklian continues to stoke these fires by opening new coal mines, and burn way too much coal

And it’s not even summer yet, this is getting crazy

It's an extreme climate emergency that Morrison ignores as he worships coal.
