As some of you may know certain states in Australia have been on fire for quite some time. The NSW fires began on the 5th of September this year and are still blazing today. 2,000,000 hectares of land have been burnt, 6 recorded fatalities (there may very well be many unrecorded), 600 schools closed due the the 'catastrophic' fire conditions threatening highly-populated areas, and a total of 673 homes destroyed in (as of the 1st of December). According to the live feed https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2019/dec/06/nsw-fires-qld-bushfires-queensland-australia-new-south-wales-rural-fire-live-news-latest-updates-sydney-smoke NSW bushfires have spread across the entire coastline as homes are lost in the QLD fires. 

The fires are spreading, as they have been for the past three months, along the outskirts of most states and territories (including Tasmania) and developing further into the state. Our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, refuses to get help from our allying countries because Australia has dealt with bushfires before and ‘we are able to handle them’. He refuses to stop the coal mining industry (the coalition, as it is more commonly referred to as), along with the already heating weather causing the bushfires. A remark which sparked rebuttal on all sides of politics came from the Nationals leader, Barnaby Joyce, who suggested two people who died in a fire near the NSW town of Glen Innes "most likely" voted for the Greens. 

Morrison remarks that we’re filling children with “needless anxiety”, with all due respect Mr Morrison, citizens of Australia are not filling their children with needless anxiety, rather coaching us through the climate you and the coalition are putting us through. Australian parents are teaching us how to properly use the Stay or Go policy, teaching us ways to defend ourselves from the ongoing fires. A hell of a lot more than you seem to be doing. If anything Morrison, you’re filling us with your so called needless anxiety. You’re the bringer of death, instead of sitting on your ass dwindling your thumbs and pretending everything is all good, do your bloody job. There are lives out there, so many lives who are in danger due to these fires and the most you can do is send your prayers out through social media?! Stop denying access from Australia’s allies, we need all the help we can get to fight back the fires. You are not a man Scott Morrison, you don’t deserve the title. Mr Morrison all you are is a scared little boy. A scared little boy who’s having a temper tantrum because his mother didn’t give him what he wanted, ignoring the plain fact that all of Australia’s on fucking fire.

This man runs our country. This man needs to learn to listen to top fire chiefs when they call him out on his lack of involvement toward climate change. These fires have claimed the lives of 6 people, destroyed the homes of many, forcefully shut down over 560 schools in the area and almost killed off the entire species of Koala, and yet, Scomo doesn’t do anything. As of today (Friday the 6th of December) The weather at noon is skyrocketing. 37.5C in Brisbane, 38 in Amberley, 31.2 in Townsville, 31.6 in Cairns, 38.3 in Mt Isa, 32.5 in Bundaberg, 37.1 in Gayndah, 38.7 in Longreach, 38.5 in Gatton and 40.5 in Julia Creek.

On the 12th of November, the Co-Owner of a Discord server I'm in published a warning for all Australians living in NSW, there was a Catastrophic fire danger. Here is the announcement: “As of currently, Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra/Shoalhaven areas Catastrophic is the highest level of bush fire danger. Homes are not designed to withstand a fire under these conditions. If a fire starts and takes hold during Catastrophic fire danger conditions, lives and homes will be at risk. Advice for people in areas of Catastrophic fire danger include: Avoid bush fire prone areas. A safer area may be a large town or city, shopping centres or facilities well away from bushland areas. Schools in identified high risk areas will be closed. Schools will notify affected students. Start making arrangements now. If you are unable to leave, identify a safe location which may be nearby. This may include a Neighbourhood Safer Place. Large areas of the state are also forecast to experience Severe and Extreme fire danger. Everyone in NSW needs to understand they aren’t safe if they are in the severe, extreme or catastrophic fire conditions, but they can be safe if they have a evacuation plan and a box for all their precious things and items they may need”, captioning a photo below for physical evidence:

Mr Morrison, how have you done so poorly at your job to the point where fellow Australian students have to do it for you? How come you cannot provide an announcement and yet a discord server of 2,000 people can safely warn everyone in the area to evacuate as quickly as possible?

“If you need to evacuate these are the places you can go: 1. WSFA Evacuation Centres in operation Current update on Evacuation Centres open today for NSW bush fires as at 1300 12 Nov 19.

How is it that you are still fascinated by the coalition industry while practically relying that the new generation of individuals are going to save the day? 

You are not a hero Mr Morrison. You are a coward.

To all those who managed to view this post and not be confused, please just offer your support, we need someone we can trust. Australia is a bushfire prone but this, this cannot become the ‘norm’. We cannot look up at the angry, blazing orange sky and think of another normal fire prone day in Australia.

I refuse to let my country get used to walking out of school/work/home on 39.8 degree (Celsius = 103.64 Fahrenheit) spring days, fearing for their lives.

I refuse to let my country get used to the sky beginning to tinge orange.

I refuse to let my country get used to the constant fire ban warnings on the radio and every TV station you could think of.

I refuse to let my country get used to winds that could pick someone up and literally blow them away.

I refuse to let my country get used to having constant fire drills, where we stand outside on the most fire prone ovals, 

I refuse to let my country get used to the excruciating heatwave and smoke plume washing over our once blue, bright sky. 

I refuse to let my country get used to rapidly checking the MyFireWatch website to see if the fire is reaching them.

AND I REFUSE to let my country be run by a pathetic megalomanic who thinks the coal mining industry is more important than the rapid deterioration of the country. Scott Morrison, there’s so much I’d like to say to you. Politicians like you should be held accountable for the mass destruction and the lives lost. You disgust me.

This is a photo of different fires across Australia.

It may not look like much but it’s affecting everyone. It needs to be spread across the entirety of the world, because not many know of the intense blaze consuming Australia.

To all of those in NSW as of today, there is another NSW RFS have posted an emergency warning, it reads: EMERGENCY WARNING: Wrights Creek (Central Coast LGA) Fire activity has increased west of Kulnara this afternoon in hot and windy conditions. If you are in the area of Kulnara, you are at risk. It is too late to leave. Seek shelter as the fire approaches. Due to a revised forecast, seven areas of NSW will now have Total Fire Bans tomorrow: Far North Coast, Greater Hunter, Greater Sydney, Central Ranges, New England, Northern Slopes and North Western. Know what you will do if fire threatens.

Stay safe everyone.
