And sometimes there are things that restore your faith in people

6. I'm sure most of us recognise that people react to these situations emotionally,

and the danger is people forgetting about it down the track, when in fact it's all going to get worse. It's not even Summer yet, and we have a useless government that has its collective head firmly buried in the sand and will not act in any way to help - no planning for a hotter future, and not even any plans to get water to the firefighters. PM Morrison prefers giving Trump hundreds of millions of dollars to get to Mars rather than directing it to buying planes to water-bomb the fires.

And MSM aren't reporting on climate change, given that about 80% of our media is now controlled by Murdoch, so it's going to be up to social media to keep beating the drum.

But this week has proven there are people who care and are moved enough to try to help. That's all anyone can ask in the absence of government action.
