Clear and maintain your fire breaks! They are essential and a poorly maintained fire break is the difference been you keeping your house and losing everything.

Be bushfire ready. Oh you've lived in the bush for the last 20 years and never had any issues? Well climate change is coming for you too. Be fucking ready. Have a bushfire plan.

Multiple fires across the state today, houses lost. Fireys working in horrific conditions. #WesternAustralia #Australia #BushfireCrisis

6 months and 14 months after a blisteringly hot bushfire in #westernaustralia .

It was the Feb 2021 Gidgegannup fire that destroyed homes and scorched everything in its path. It was so hot the land had only just begun recovering 6 months later.

You usually see the kinda growth in the first picture within weeks of a cool burn. The soil turned to sandy ash, with all the soil microbiome destroyed. I'll be going back soon for a 29 month update.

I can't help thinking about oligarchs.

They earn so much more than us. They pay less tax. In fact they pay nowhere near their share.

Yet when there's a disaster like floods, mudslides, earthquakes, cyclones they leave the bill for the clean-up with the Govt. Except Govt coffers only contain taxes from our money. Us poor sods who DO pay our way, DO pay our share. And the oligarchs (#Zuckerberg #Musk #Bezos) don't.

And it's all legal of course bc they pay accountants to find loopholes to avoid paying into the treasuries around the world. The Treasuries that pay to clean up the mud, rubble, bush fires, devastated land and shitty water.

The oligarchs sit on the sidelines knowing that floods, earthquakes, hurricanes will *never* affect them bc they can fly out to somewhere safe, to another of their 20 homes. They come and go wherever they please. While we wait for relief, food, water, shelter in a school hall. Wait for diggers to clear the mess. Wait for some semblance of a life to emerge.

And all the while the oligarchs have SO MUCH, share so little of the trillions they have held back from us in unpaid share of taxes.

And they run their businesses with such disdain and disrespect for us, their employees and customers.

I was just thinking about that today.

Australian captain Tim Paine and Nathan Lyon visited #Wingello, a town of about 500 people in hard-hit #NewSouthWales, days after it was devastated by the flames.
