Sadly at 0930 today the toll is 173 dead. Over 55 in hospital most in a critical condition on life support.

The fires have been called the worst in history. The worst natural disaster in history.

Also sadly, the Green Politicians have jumped on this calling for climate change. It's amazing how they see the fire as a result of climate change.

I'm just not certain the link between climate change and some low life lighting fires.

Some Politicians just seem to jump on the bandwagon for their own ends.

Will keep you updated.
