The Queen says she is deeply saddened by Australia's bushfire crisis and praised emergency workers on the front line.

"I have been deeply saddened to hear of the continued bushfires and their devastating impact across many parts of Australia," the Queen wrote in a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday night local time.

"My thanks go out to the emergency services, and those who put their own lives in danger to help communities in need.READ MORESix people remain missing in Victoria and dozens more properties are feared to have been lost in NSW after another long night for firefighters. A pilot and his son were caught by flames and killed on South Australia's Kangaroo Island as they were returning to their property after fighting a fire.

The Queen sent condolences in October to the NSW and Queensland governors after bushfires killed two people and destroyed dozens of homes.

I wish she was saddened to the point of kicking out a weak and ineffectual gov't whose only focus is profit for the rich at the expense of people and the environment (and going on holidays when we're in the grip of a national emergency)

That's lovely, Liz, but what we really need is MONEY!

That’s nice, as one of the more prominent country’s in your commonwealth, is there anything you would like to do to actually help our country? Or does a short generic statement on paper suffice in your eyes?

If the Queen is deeply saddened, she'll need to give more than thoughts and prayers. Instead of sending condolences to the GG, maybe take some action and ask the GG to dismiss ScumMo. We have enough fake thoughts and prayers as it is.

Thank you for your words Your Majesty well received

If Queen is so saddened maybe she could make a donation to those that have lost everything.

That's not News. It doesn't actually matter what 'The Queen' says. So spare us.

Whens that train line coming?

Donation ?

Is she helping us with the fires at all?

When will the Governor General do something then? Why are RFS having to ask for donations of food, drink & paracetamol etc to get the job done when RFS is a government emergency service! Shameful Ashtraya

Can the Queen please sack Scotty from the Shire.

Whoopee. You, of all people, have the power to do something. The GG could help us - but will you take action? Nope. Didn't think so.

Cue the hate messages. After all she has wished devastation and destruction upon us with her message. Didn’t she?

We have rain making technology!But noooooo...noooo we won’t use it now...we have geo engineering but noooo noooo we won’t flood the bush with torrential cloud seeding to combat the fire...or Dont we have the technology?Search bloody google you noodle!

Silence on this topic from BorisJohnson who is having holiday on an island threatened by ClimateEmegency before it disappears below the waves

Saddened does NOT HELP. WE. NEED. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Goodo

And yet she'll do nothing but sit in her castle

Queen - Sell one of your properties and donate to the appeal.

'Person says thing is bad' Kay thanks keep me posted

She can fùck right off too RoyalFamily

What about the governor of South Australia? Never visited? Never heard of Kangaroo Island? Too late now it's burnt.

How about putting your money where your mouth is

Thanks for the kind words but how about chucking in a million.

Well there is one significant action she could take … Where the fuck is the GG by the way?

Donation to a relief fund? No?

Thank you Queen for your concern & saddness re the 🔥 crisis, but you should be informed that Australia has a far bigger problem than the National Bushfire Crisis.....unfortunately we are burdened with the Morrison Virus 🦠. Your people only have to put up with the Brexit issue

Dont need sadness how about a donation your royal hiney

If you really care about Australia send your pervy son here to stand trial for what he did to one of us! Look forward to the millions you will be donating Lizzie!!!!!!!!

Thanks. When are you leaving.

Lol, all that stupid family seem to care about is who is cheating on who, and what Meghan Markle is supposedly doing “wrong” now. You don’t give a shit about us or our country.

I want Kylie Jenner to donate

piersmorgan can you please tell our Head of State to contact our GG. We need more than thoughts and prayers.

The queen is saddened by Aussie bushfires, is it distracting from her role as a tourist attraction or wineing and dining authoritarian dictators for arms sales. You could make this unhelpful government fall, done it before with a better PM.

Any chance you could sack our useless PM please your Madgeness?

Maybe she can ask the GG to say a few words. He is not in Hawaii too is he?

Thank you Your Majesty. Georgina Downer has made a statement too.

Thanks, love. We’ll unfortunately need more than thoughts and prayers. We need action and we need to remove climate change deniers from office! climatefires AustraliaIsOnFire

No doubt but it has taken her minders days. And btw what has your glorious PM sent? U Poms r truly ghastly EU well rid of u.

The woman who helped engineer a coup in Australia. Whose mining interests contributed to this disaster. No thanks fcukoff

She let our country get destroyed by letting this inept government to continue ruling. Blood on her hands

She said 'thoughts and prayers'? Oh nooo 😎

This is a true leader in action ScottyfromMarketing

Australia burns while government is on holiday- where was the 2 to step up to the plate when required- what a joke

Six degrees of separation. This hell we are living is your future too if we don’t work together to minimise the impacts of global warming.

I guess she's hinting that there will be no knighthood for Morrison?

How about dropping off a $100,000,000?

Where's her televised message of consolidarity?

She should be chatting to the GG

More so than her son being a pedo?

Hmmm, is she the only one now that can remove the PM from his position? Someone please tell her that we are being led by a leader that belongs to a cult called Pentecostal.

Yeah... a Royal PR handshake tour in the near future .. I’m betting in 3 weeks time.

She said 'thoughts and prayers', but you are misquoting not to trigger feral leftards, which is your main audience

She's not my sovereign
