- Can Macron douse Australia's fires? - POLITICO:
Australia - a country that implemented wildly successful strict gun laws in response to a 1996 shooting massacre and has been held up as the poster-child for gun reform since - is as stuck on climate action as the U.S. is on gun laws.

Fire fighters talking about how locals have had to use private vehicles and equipment, even talking about forming their own fire crews in future.
