My question is to the Minister for Emergency Management, Senator Watt, on a very serious subject. Minister, currently my state of New South Wales is being impacted by around 50 fires that are burning at advice level. In the past four weeks we've seen significant fire activity across New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia. And, in Victoria, we saw concurrent fires and floods. Can the minister please advise the Senate on what the Commonwealth is doing to support these communities?
