Survivors of Australia’s ongoing bushfire emergency have delivered the remains of their family home to Parliament House in Canberra, bearing the message ‘Morrison, your climate crisis destroyed my home’.
Melinda Plesman and her partner Dean Kennedy of Nymboida, NSW, lost their family home of 35 years after bushfires tore through the town south of Grafton on Friday 8 November.
Jo Dodds, president of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action, a survivor of the 2018 Tathra bushfires was also on-site supporting Ms Plesman and Mr Kennedy, and said survivors like her were exhausted by the empty rhetoric of the Federal Government.
