Climate change increases the risk of a wildfire, fire seasons are longer and these fires become more dangerous.

1 million hectares have been burnt in New South Wales and it's only mid November.

 

Our fire season ends in March!

Sad reality for my beautiful state too.

Turnbull isn't even in power anymore.

He was replaced by Scott Morrison in 2018 where he won the 2019 election against labour party leader bill shorten who later stepped down.

Yeah I thought I was wrong the minute I wrote that. Sorry bout that. 
Morrison’s an ass. I remember his statement after the New Zealand shooting. Y’all should elect that kid who egged him to federal office :p

I would strongly disagree with that one.

Bit confused by this. The opposition would be that Hitler was a good leader, and I’m 100% certain that’s not what you mean.

Influence doesn’t make you a journalist. Hitler had some large influence too, but that didn’t make him a good leader, person, or journalist.

 

Controlling what gets known by the public doesn’t make a journalist, if anything it makes you a heavy handed dictator.

 

You're spiralling out of control. If you bring up Hitler to allegedly prove Murdoch is not a journalist then you've completely lost it :dunno:

That is exactly what I mean - an Austrian who convinced the Germans that he's the one, for whom they should vote and who leaded the anti-semitic repressions in a country of Einstein. Heine or Mendelssohn, won a democratic elections and introduced a totalitarism with little protests... How can you not call him a great leader? A bad man, person, human - that's for sure.

They’ve both tired to control people. They’ve both spread continued misinformation. They both lead campaigns of hate through their various platforms.

      A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.

      China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.

      Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.

      looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )

      I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is.

      This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
