Victoria SES Operations Chief Officer Tim Wiebusch says the organisation is frantically working to provide assistance to areas impacted by flooding.

He said SES and CFA volunteers from “all parts of the state” will work to clear a backlog of 2,500 requests for help. “We also have Forest Fire Management Victoria that are now bringing in extra chainsaw crews to help clear those roads along the way … and so we are hoping that in the coming days we’ll be able to get some of those remaining roads open,” said Mr Wiebusch. He warned of the danger of driving “through flash flood waters” after a man lost his life on Thursday.

“Emergency services were called just before 2pm after a vehicle was seen submerged in floodwaters, rescue crews from police and SES responded, but tragically that person was found to be deceased in their vehicle. “Again, we can't emphasise enough: stay in touch with your emergency broadcasters, make sure you’re getting the latest information and warnings off the VicEmergency website, … and staying in touch with the VicTraffic app or website for the latest road closures.

China criticism proves Australia and Japan are a 'united front' | Sky News AustraliaWest Australian Political Journalist Sarah Ison says Australia and Japan’s joint statement in opposition to China’s coercive behaviour presents a “united front” ahead of the G7 summit. \n\nThe joint statement - which comes after two hours of virtual meetings between Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne, Defence Minister Peter Dutton and their Japanese counterparts - labelled China’s economic behaviour as undermining “the rules-based international system”.\n\nMs Ison says the declaration was “a really pointed statement” against Beijing.\n\n“It was very much the two countries coming together and presenting something of a united front in this statement and it no doubt has already gained criticism from China,” she told Sky News.\n\n“We’ve had a lot of comments and the confirmation that the geo-strategic competition that we’re facing right now will be discussed and that’s code for China’s rise and the competition particularly with the United States.\n\n“Last year Australia had a really tough year with China … and the world was really watching on with apprehension and a lot of worry about what is being deemed as economic coercion, so I think those discussions about where to from here will be had and will be had on the side-lines of the G7.”\n 😂😂😂Your leaders are chosen by American.

Race guilt and race shame are now ‘taking hold’ in Australia: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaCritical race theory is not about justice and equality, it is about “racial vengeance,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“The threat to our freedoms, to our values, it doesn’t just come from outside,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“There’s also plenty of people inside the west who don’t think the west is actually worth defending.\n\n“Who think it’s evil, oppressive, racist, dominated by white people who are rotten to the core.\n\n“I’m telling you, this is coming … it’s this new anti-white racism, or critical race theory.”\n\nMr Bolt said we are seeing more and more white people “react in one of two terrible ways – both also racist”.\n\n“Some resort to the very same racism themselves, they fight anti-white racism with anti-black racism, it’s tribal,” he said.\n\n“Other whites surrender, as members of the guilty race, some literally kowtow to their black neighbours.\n\n“This is what is now taking hold in Australia, race guilt, race shame, judging people by their race, white people bad.\n\n“And this is the country that now – with China rampant - calls on its people to defend it. Good luck.”\n Andrew ...Why is News Corp/SKY trying to bring Critical Race Theory to Australia? Are you trying to bring back the 'White Australia Policy' that ended in the mid-1970s? Its the Australia of your childhood.

The enemy can ‘dictate terms’ if Australia swallows ‘net-zero nonsense’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says Australia will never be able to “withstand the forces of oppression” if it is economically weak.\n\nHis comments come after Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered a speech in Perth to the USAsia Centre, urging liberal democracies around the world to reinforce a global order which favours freedom.\n\n“The Prime Minister is off next week to Cornwall in England for a G7 summit,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“His sentiments today are most laudable and very thoughtful when he said our strategic environment has changed significantly over recent years.”\n\nMr Jones noted however, Australia will not be able to “withstand the forces of oppression” with a weak economy.\n\n“Apart from manpower and innovative ideas, the one component central to economic strength is energy,” he said.\n\n“Do our opponents want us to be energy weak and force us to swallow this net-zero carbon dioxide emissions nonsense when we could and should be the energy superpower of the world?\n\n“Put simply, without energy supplies, we are not worth two bob and the enemy can dictate terms.”\n Who says he says that? We must stop China
