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.
The #sydneyfireworks should go ahead as planned for a number of reasons.. 1. The money has already been spent, as someone that is living in an area affected by fire I simply want to celebrate the end of the year as usual. Let’s relax and keep it simple. ¼
Cancelling the fireworks isn’t going to help anyone, I am sure Sydney City council can’t get the money back now, I think we would be better served utilising a fundraiser through collection cans and a telethon for the RFS on NYE instead. 2/4
Cancelling a world renowned event just because something bad has happened is imo a bad idea, lets maintain normalcy and recover together. We cannot collapse in a heap everytime bad things happen. Sometimes we have to toughen up and push through. ¾
