Australia commits climate suicide

The Times names Australia’s greatest Devils, feasting in the hell scape they’ve created on poor submissive distractible gullible souls.
Australia will need at least 10 million brown immigrants to get itself right after this.
Will any want to come?
Will any be let in?
"poor submissive distractible gullible souls"?
More like 'realists'.
"Govt has to get money to pay for our pensions". "Govt has to get money to provide services, fund Medicare [free treatment for all in public hospitals], fund the PBS [Pharmaceutical benefits scheme], provide electricity, cooling and heating, military."
Reality;
"You can't fight a forest fire with a garden hose".
Most of those who perished in the fires decided, against advice, to stay and try to defend their homes.
"Build your home in/next to the bush/woods/forest, you shouldn't really be surprised that when a firestorm comes your home gets burnt to the ground."
Most homes that were lost were built in/next to the woods/bush forest. A long time ago. The corrugated iron in the rubble, and brick chimneys still standing tell the story.
"Little Aussie battlers", cheap land, 'cabins in the woods', including pensioners with no superannuation, and no other hope, couldn't afford the very expensive house insurance...…..
…..
hoped for the best, got the worst, firestorms.
Now gotta find somewhere to live for the rest of their lives. If they own the land they could sell that, if anyone will buy it. Maybe buy a delivery van and live in that.
I don't know where they go, what they do. The evacuation centres will only exist for a certain time.
The federal govt might be able to find public housing in Australia somewhere.
The reconstruction;If enough labourers/tradespeople can't be found in Australia [after extensive advertising, incl "No shonks please"] then they will be brought in from other countries on guest working visas.
No pretend tradespeople allowed.
