To those who follow me on Twitter I advise, effective immediately I am closing my account. I am appalled and ashamed the cesspit this arm of social media has become. A platform for vulgar disrespectful unAustralians hiding behind false identities. I will not be a part of it. – at Melbourne, Victoria
Interesting to ponder with Vic Government banning immediate logging in old growth Forest where we source material to rebuild homes,other buildings destroyed by fires. – at Melbourne, Victoria

I’m getting off Twitter for a while. People have lost their lives, livelihoods & homes. But on here it’s become a political blame game. I was in an evac centre for 36 hours. There was not one word about politics. We just wanted to stay alive. #AustraliaOnFire #NSWfires
A most informative and critical document . A must read given the current circumstances in Victoria. digitised-collections.unimel…
Re Bushfires: very disconcerting to see both on Twitter and Facebook the number of people and organisations suggesting where one can donate to the “Bushfire Appeals. Given history suggests not all money collected ends up where it should the Fed Gov’t should co.ordinate this. – at Melbourne, Victoria
Why in this country has there not been established a national disaster fund which would cover losses incurred by those suffering loss; which would reimburse volunteers and rebuild infrastructure. A simple levy could fund it and ensure everyone contributed. Not too hard ? – at Melbourne, Victoria
By 13 January 1939....– Black Friday – “”the temperature reached 44.7 degrees Celsius in Melbourne, and 47.2 degrees Celsius in Mildura with very low humidity levels. Narbethong, Noojee, Woods Point, Nayook West and Hill End were completely destroyed by the fires on this day.””” – at Melbourne, Victoria
To all those , Australians facing the peril of the bushfires. youtu.be/6hI4AgoJh_o
The Royal Commission said of Friday January 13 1939....”it was as if the whole of Victoria was on fire’”..... map shows extent of fires. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Arson. Finally someone reports it
Police are now working on the premise arson is to blame for much of the devastation caused this bushfire season. A strike force will investigate whether blazes were deliberately lit, and bring those responsible to justice. 7NEWS.com.au @ebatten7 #NSWFires #7NEWS

We’ve just boarded the @Australian_Navy’s HMAS Choules with passengers being evacuated from Mallacoota. They’re filled with so many emotions right now – devastation about the last few days, but also so grateful for the mammoth mission to get them home. @9NewsAUS @9NewsMelb

Albo has a therapeutic day at the cricket. Talks his way on to TV. Fire emergency or PR assault. michaelsmithnews.com/2020/01…
