I am from Greece, I have been sent to several Australian government agencies, organizations and the Australian Embassy in the Netherlands, I want to volunteer for free, in order to help save the animals from the fires, they did not answer my request, shame is a shame for them
Please: if someone knows a way to volunteer to save animals from fires, I have experience dealing with animals, please I want to volunteer for free and I do not want any compensation, I am now in Greece and ready as soon as I am called, and I will help in extinguishing fires too,
Stay safe to all the volunteers and others impacted by the fires

NSW volunteer firefighters eligible for compensation under new govt scheme | Sky News AustraliaVolunteer firefighters in New South Wales will be eligible for up to $6,000 dollars in compensation, as part of a federal government scheme.\n\nThe move is designed to support crews through an 'unusually demanding' season, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it should not set a precedent for permanent payments. \n\nMr Morrison stressed the payments would be provided as compensation to those who are self-employed or work in small to medium businesses who have lost income as a result of fighting the fires. \n\nThe volunteer NSW firefighters would also have had to have spent at least ten days battling blazes in the state. \n\nOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese criticised Mr Morrison on Sunday for negotiating a deal with NSW and leaving volunteers from other states who have travelled to assist with the firefighting effort in the lurch.\n\nThe Prime Minister insisted if other state Premiers took up the deal, volunteers would be compensated for time spent in NSW. \n\nImage: Getty Yet days ago Scotty bullshitboy from marketing said he spoke with them and they didn't want to be paid 😂😂😂 And not a single cent of that being contributed by Murdoch...zero income tax payable.😐
