The Nation in Mourning

The nation mourns over a devastating lost to recent bushfires shared by three states: South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
Alas, while bushfires are natural summer catastrophes due to its mercurial rise of temperature as exacerbated by endless drought, this year's bushfires however have been to some extent premeditated by heinous lunatics.

Here the nation once more gathered in solidarity standing by those victims of man-made horror to give their unified support.

Our Prime Minister, Mr Kevin Rudd, leads the nation in mourning in a memorial service in honour for those who died in Melbourne, Victoria. You will hear him speak before the consoling citizens. Mr Rudd in my opinion is the best Australian Prime Minister and Speaker I've known since I arrived Australia.

While the nation mourns, there is another warning issued for a possible come back of the Ash Wednesday due to unrelenting high strong winds fanning areas with bushfire threats sending communities to flee.
Now, the rebuilding of this fire torn communities is running in the process.
