The answer is yes. The enormity of the situation can be brought home by noting that more than half of Australia's population is affected by these fires, including myself; about five times the area of the recent California fires have been burnt in the last three months and about 2/3rds of Australia's annual CO2 emissions have just gone up in smoke.
This same "no policies" PM - "she'll be right, no worries" actively refused to meet with the fire chiefs back in April of this year to discuss what to do about the impending fire season (yes - it was known back then things were going to be bad). That for me is the height of ineptitude - probably worse than Bush Jr's handling of Katrina. A lot of us Aussies feel the same way right about now. Pity they didn't when they elected him earlier this year.
