The bush fires in Australia have shown up a serious deficit of
leadership in Australia's Prime Minister -- who holidays in Hawaii while
Australia burns....

People are asking for NZ to take over......

Is your residence near any fires? What city? AG

The answer is yes. The enormity of the situation can be brought home
by noting that more than half of Australia's population is affected by
these fires, including myself; about five times the area of the recent
California fires have been burnt in the last three months and about
2/3rds of Australia's annual CO2 emissions have just gone up in smoke.

This same "no policies" PM - "she'll be right, no worries" actively
refused to meet with the fire chiefs back in April of this year to
discuss what to do about the impending fire season (yes - it was known
back then things were going to be bad). That for me is the height of
ineptitude - probably worse than Bush Jr's handling of Katrina.

A lot of us Aussies feel the same way right about now. Pity they
didn't when they elected him earlier this year.

Cheers

Fortunately Melbourne is currently spared the fire threat. But we do have bad smoke pollution....
