Aussie firefighters in America should be issued with assault rifles/mafia-style machine guns so they can shoot back.

Because fighting fires is so much easier while carrying a "mafia-style machine gun."

That they were shot at is revolting.

That you think that's a solution is perhaps more revolting.

The solution is SWAT teams protecting them and their American colleagues from gun-toting, anti-govt militia/s who inhabit the forests.
One American firefighter recorded a 'last message' on his phone to his family ...thinking he would be killed.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Heh.   TBH,  I have a revulsion for poor sportsmanship no matter how good the excuse,  so I am a little conflicted on this cartoon.   Cartoonists caricature everyone,  so it's possible that there really is no intent to demean Ms Williams on the basis of anything but her tantrum.  In the US,  it would be hideously clueless,  given the vile stain in our history of African caricatures.  In Oz,  it may be clueless but perhaps not as culpably so.   Sorry if that's not PC here,  but that's my impression.

Fucking auto-correct.  It turned Oz into "Ozark" first time I posted.  Really changed my meaning.
