PM: MEET WITH FIRE CHIEFS, AND DECARBONISE Posted by Andrea Leong · January 10, 2020 5:11 PM My social media feeds are an outpouring of humanity and grief. Offers of spare rooms for evacuated residents, fundraisers, rage at the lack of coordination and empathy from those who command resources. Our federal government must admit that this fire season is unprecedented and made more unpredictable by human-induced climate change—otherwise it condemns us to this being the new normal. In this blog post, I try to not dwell for too long on the federal government's response to the bushfires, and point out the crisis is in

fact unprecedented.

My conclusion is that prime minister Scott Morrison must meet immediately with former fire chiefs who have been requesting a meeting

since April 2019
