Yesterday, for the first time in recorded history, there was no rainfall over mainland Australia.

Meanwhile, New South Wales is literally on fire.

The overwhelming scientific consensus is that human action is directly responsible for the climate crisis which is now ravaging the lives and homes of Australian people.

If this doesn’t wake our country up to the potential dangers of climate inaction, what will?

Some have lost their homes, others their lives, but at least the suffering families have our Prime Minister’s thoughts and prayers to keep them safe.

What good they’ll do is yet to be determined. Hopefully, they translate into action.
