It covers an area of 60kms.

And what have we heard from our Prime Minister? Nothing. When the fires first started, he paid an empathy counsellor (truly) $190,000 to teach him how to empathise, because that's not something he does.

When he told people he was offering thoughts and prayers and it didn't go down too well, he obviously gave up. Because with the loss of over 680 homes, plus loss of crops, animals, trees and bush, not to mention over 1,000 bush creatures, you might think he'd find something to say. But it's beyond him; he has completely ignored the fires.

He is a seriously weird person.
