Unfortunately there are also plenty of scammers out there who exploit this horrific situation. Anyone sending donations should only give to well known charities, family and friends or others who have been fully vetted.

Good luck to MrBaldBastard and others living in Australia.

Donations are great and help the communities and individuals that are affected.

But the reality is Australia has plenty of money, it's just up to the federal and state governments to use it.

Eg: My state has just pledged another Billion dollars to help rebuild the communities that were lost which is AWESOME! Considering they spent most of 2019 explaining why they were investing a billion in a football stadium and are blowing more than 50 billion on new roads, bridges and tunnels.. so more cars can hit the tolled roads..

Half a billion spent on prevention would have made a lot more sense but of course, that doesn't get votes unless people are dying.

Heres Government stupidity:

Australia has 100 F35's on order: "Part of the Government’s $200 billion build up in Defence capability"

Australia has two water-bombing planes on order: In fact, states had to fight the federal government last year for 11 million in funding for firefighting down from the 50 million they were asking for.

.. Straylia!

Australia's trade surplus widened to $5.8 billion in November, with the 42 per cent increase fuelled by higher mining exports.

.rolling in money, all we have to do now is get the fuckers to spend it on the population and not 20 Billionaire friends.

Camels drain all the water from distressful soil of Australia.

Camels, you understand, are about as Australian as polar bears...

Australia is full of feral animals it actually pisses me off to hear word wild used in media instead of feral when it comes to deer , rabbits , pigs, goats, camels horses and the carp just breeding like crazy.
