This week at the #NationalPressClub, Australiaâs Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP outlined his new vision for the nation in the face of catastrophic fires.
Letâs call it the âShonk Doctrineâ.
Hereâs a thread on the âShonk Doctrineâ and how it works.

Morrisonâs Shonk Doctrine combines elements of what @NaomiAKlein called âShock Doctrineâ with a whole lot of our Prime Ministerâs characteristic shonkiness.
It is a dangerous combination.
It is a dangerous combination.
Naomi Klein coined the expression âShock Doctrineâ to describe the phenomenon of vested interests using moments of âshockâ (eg wars & disasters) to force through aggressive neoliberal policies targeting ordinary people and the public domain:

As the fires continue, much of Australia's media - outlets owned by the Murdoch family - are not only dismissing the scientific consensus on the climate crisis, but are peddling false narratives instead.
@RodTiffen & @AmyRemeikis gave us some examples.

Murdoch's outlets serve as message multipliers for each other.
Columnists and commentators - including some prominent climate sceptics - get time and space across Murdoch media platforms from TV to print to the web.
@JamesPainter61 and @AmyRemeikis explain how this works.

Murdoch media wields political clout in Australia. The coal mining industry is even more influential.
Put the two together, and Australian politicians face a losing battle for real reform of climate policy.

1/12. The #Australianfires have been an absolute disaster for wildlife and nature. But there is an important background story: even before the fires, the Coalition government had declared War on Nature.

2/4 - Deployment of engineering reconnaissance in NSW to build a clearer picture of the expected route clearance and recovery operations that will be required. #OpBushfireAssist

Animal people: NZ vets and Saddlery Warehouse are collecting donations of animal handling gear & vet supplies to help injured and sick animals affected by the #AustralianFires. Bandages, feeding bottles/teats, fly veils, worm paste, halters/collars/leads etc all welcome.
Items can be dropped at any Saddlery Warehouse branch nationwide or if you're in Auckland, you can also drop them at Vets North in Kumeu or Town & Country Vets in Drury.
If you're in TaupĆ, you can drop products at Woodlands Equestrian, 1100 Mapara Rd. I should have mentioned in the first tweet, but items need to be new to get through Biosecurity.

TEN CHARITIES TO HELP SAVE ANIMALS AT RISK DURING AUSTRALIAâS RAGING FIRES
The devastation of the bushfires in Australia cannot be overestimated.
The impact on animals is especially alarming as many are already reaching endangered status.

After seeing multiple tweets about the @DeptDefence response to #AustraliaBurning, I feel itâs #education time on #YourADF and how it relates to the #constitutionalmonarchy #government in #Australia. #AustralianFires #auspol #miltwitter 1/6
Under the Australian #constitution, #emergency and #disaster preparation, management, and recovery is the responsibility of each individual state or territory #government. #AustralianFires #ausfires #auspol #miltwitter 2/6
If the situation deteriorates and the effected state cannot handle the response, they can request federal assistance under the Australian Government Disaster Response Plan (#COMDISPLAN). #ausfires #miltwitter More here: homeaffairs.gov.au/emergency/file⊠3/6

Here's 5 simple steps each and every one of us could take for immediate impact, in spite of our denialist government.
Make them your 2020 resolution. Encourage F&F to do the same

1. Move your super (401k) to a fund that invests ethically, instead of leaving your money in a fund that that actively funds fossil fuel industries (cost to you = 10 mins to fill out the transfer form). Many of these funds outperform the major funds. Easy.

2. Move your banking (loans, savings, everyday) to a bank that refuses to fund fossil fuel industries (cost to you = 10 mins to open a new account, maybe 30 mins to apply for a home loan transfer). Easy.

âIt may well be up to 30% of the population in that region because up to 30% of their habitat has been destroyed," Australia's environment minister, @sussanley, told @ABCaustralia last Friday. "Weâll know more when the fires are calmed down and a proper assessment can be made.â
Up to 28,000 koalas lived in the region before the fires, The Associated Press reported.

The Aus government began a mass evacuation by road and air; all of the Defence Force personnel throughout Australia, along with the entire Royal Australian Air Force's fleet of transport planes, were recalled from holiday leave and deployed to evacuate civilians from Darwin
Thirteen ships of the Royal Australian Navy were used to transport supplies to the area as part of Operation Navy Help Darwin; the largest humanitarian or disaster relief operation ever performed by the Navy.
