I sent my suggestion to the ABC TV Morning Show on 6:1:2020
Massive and tragic LOSSES OF CROPS, VEGETABLES, FRUIT, AND LIVESTOCK
have already begun to affect food availability.
Shortages of fuel and inaccessibility to certain roads make it impossible for drivers to get 'just in time' orders like fresh produce to their destinations. Bread and milk will become unavailable in places due to grain and loss of cows and dairy farms.
PLEASE don't wait for AUTHORITIES to organise food production. Encourage as many householders as possible to plant vegetables, fruit and herbs in their BACK and FRONT GARDENS and COMMUNITY GARDENS if they have sufficient water to do so.
Donations of organic seeds, money to purchase seeds and gardening machinery and tools lost to fire and drought will be immediate needs.

The LNP Coalition Government has slashed ABC - The Australian Broadcasting Commission's funding yet what would we do without their exceptional work during these national disasters of fire and drought? Their coverage has been essential and exceptional. In many places the only access to information by wind up-radio for those who have lost homes, communications and
power to run their devices.
I'm calling in the Government to IMMEDIATELY DOUBLE FUNDING TO THE AUSTRALIAN ABC so they can continue and expand their work and programs unimpeded by lack of funds ... then to triple and quadruple funding for operational costs, cultural programs, increased staffing and more.

People in every state will be going entirely back to the drawing board. We're going to need visionaries, innovators and all manner of people of goodwill and action. I expect massive PTSD as the shock of the losses due to these disasters continue growing.
I also feel retirees and the aged will be of invaluable assistance with the skills they can offer. New enlightened management will be essential. We're seeing numerous ones of those exemplary leaders now on the ground, in print and on our screens - and sadly others who continue to let us down. The latter do not deserve any more of our precious time or attention.
