The rest of the world should be helping here.....with tech and advice and physical presence....

This is where the billions we give to International Aid should be spent, when there is an humanitarian crisis such as this present one in Oz...

Australia fires: death toll rises and six people missing as PM calls in militaryMore than 200 fires burning and temperature records smashed as government criticised over inaction The Australian prime minister is a total disgrace. He should have mobilised the armed forces weeks ago. The majority of the firefighters are not paid professionals they are ordinary day to day people who are some of the bravest people on planet earth. „Soldiers will provide “civil aid, humanitarian assistance, medical or civil emergency or disaster relief”, ....“, but can the military stop the human devastation of the natural environment? Aboriginal Australians burned the overgrown bush in a controlled area for 1000s of years. And never had issues like today. Also been known for years when oxygen levels rise above 26%, bush fires will start just with dried leaves movement. Sadly idiots took over.
