[honeyjen11]

Grredy exremist Greenies have destroyed Victoria with their lunatic policies.

Hang your heads in shame loony Greenies.

AUSTRALIA WILL NOT FORGET THE DAMAGE THE GREENIE POLICIES HAVE DONE TO VICTORIA.

SHAME LABOR !

SHAME GREENIES!

[antifarleft]

Well said Honeyjen, we will be all over them with this at the Next elections.

[x0HERPER0x]

What did the greenies have to do with it?

[jewelchic]

They did not allow controlled burning which could have saved a lot of destruction.

[bobudess]

this has inspired me to donate blood, keep it up^^

[TeamWuJin]

Thank you for this video.

I am an Aussie in Japan and doing what i can to raise awareness about this matter.

Thank you again

It means alot

God bless,  Demondartz

[jewelchic]

That's great-everything helps xxxxxxx

[iloveazamat]

this was soooooooooooooo sad.

i cant believe people actually did some of these on purpose!!

how could you even do that?

it was sooo upseting

we donated as much as we could.

its so heartwarming to see everyone caring and doing what they can though!

[jewelchic]

Good for you Emma- i think most people are contributing in some way or another...so good to see xxxxxxx

[Heidiscope]

Thanks for sharing this, wow very powerful video indeed and very nice of you to donate some jewellery, wonderful :-) i'm sure they'll appreciate it!!! I wish there was something i could do, besides money cause i don't have that. :-(

[jewelchic]

Heidi- i really am sure there is something-it's not all about money... maybe you could make something for a family... give old clothes,kitchen ware etc

[sashasquashi]

[jewelchic]

Thanks Sasha!!!!!!! xxx

[lisadanielsonmusic]

[jewelchic]

Thanks for watching xxxxxxx

[tergingafdslsdfasdsr]

resist (dot) com

[sashasquashi]

cooments like yours only brings hate

[steinwaygrande1]

Your tactless comment isnt going to solve or prove anything. Its sensless to post such a vitriolic comment

[jewelchic]

Totally agree-but how do you stop random idiots lighting fires?

[germanicelt]

Ah, but how do we know it's random? I am not really surprised that no one has considered the possibility that these fires were not just intentionally lit by random firebugs, but that this was a coordinated plan, financed by those who will profit from a carbon tax. If you notice, the media jumped on this from the get go crying 'global warming'! Sure these fires are the worst, but is that because it has been significantly hotter and drier, or is it because so many fires sprang up out of nowhere?

[Flukey006]

crying face ='(

[jewelchic]

Definitely xxx

[Rozoks]

check this out ! look for WORLD COVERAGE OF BUSHFIRES. U will find a post called Australian bushfires...... burn baby burn, plz dont hezatate in leaving a nice msg for the worm

[jewelchic]

Yes-not a nice one......just block him and ignore

[jewelchic]

YES-you are completely right-there are dead set idiots out there, but the two are separate issues,controlled burning and fire breaks may not have helped you, but it most certainly would have saved others as per the guy who did clear his land and suffered a $100,000 fine but still has his house.

[honeyjen11]

Exactly right jewlchic.

Greenie concillors should hang their heads in shame!

Controlled winter burning is needed to keep people safe.

AUSTRALIA UNITED AGAINST GREENIES!

[jewelchic]

You know-i don't think you will need to fight against them-i think they will surely see what has happened and reconsider their ideals. xxx

[honeyjen11]

AUSTRALIA STANDS UNITED AGAINST THE GREENIES AND LABOURS EXTREMIST GREEN POLICIES.

NEVER AGAIN will Australians VOTE for the GREENIES OR LABOUR and their extremist policies.

The fact they didnt allow the chopping of trees and controlled burning during the cooler months has cost many people their lives and property.

SHAME GREENIES!

SHAME LABOUR!

AUSTRALIANS WILL NOT FORGET!

R.I.P TO THE VICTIMS OF THE BUSHFIRES!

[jewelchic]

i totally get what you are saying and the one guy who DID clear his property and was fined $100,000 still has his home. We all love the environment, but if it had been allowed to be cleared in a controlled way we would not have LOST everything there!!!

[grasshoppius78]

The bushfires were caused by a handful of EXTREMIST idiots, not green policy. Sorry to all those affected by the bushfire. The whole south-east Australian area is prone to extreme bushfire events. That is the risk living in densely vegetated areas. A controlled burnoff may have reduced the fires intensity, but as you might know the consequence to this is biodiversity loss. Shift the towns? Lose the forests? Or face the risk?

[jewelchic]

If we had firebreaks and controlled burning-the fire would not have been able to run. There has to be a way where both are happy because this just should NOT have happened. The loss of forestation,animals,housing and human life is unforgivable.

[grasshoppius78]

I agree. The loss from this whole event was tragic. We can rebuild communities, but you cannot replace human life. Hopefully the enquiry will find useful solutions. Where there is fire, heatwaves, wind there is always a risk. Given the conditions it would have been to scale down the risk to something smaller than what occurred using whatever management strategy. Maybe controlled burning would have given people more time to evacuate? The evacuation strategy should be first under the microscope.

[jewelchic]

EVERY aspect of this needs to be put under the microscope. I have a friend who has been working on the scene with the bushfire victims and she still has smoke in her lungs a couple of days later and she said she has never seen anything like it and she has worked in war zones!

[nonnapat]

Thank You so much Jewelchic for adding this video. My heart and prayers are with everyone who has lost a loved one a home property or animal. Also all those still lokking for loved ones and friends. Its so devastating. I will be happy to contribute to help in some small way.

[jewelchic]

Good for you xxxxxxxx

[Becca35treehugger]

I wish there were some way I could help

this! I live across the world but I've been hearing about these everywhere!

This video made me cry.... :[

[jewelchic]

There is a link in the video description where you can make a donation if you would like to from overseas. xxxxxxxxxx

[Becca35treehugger]

GREAT! I'de love to!

Thanks! :D

[bunz11]

Thanks for posting this, Megan. I didn't know where I could send money; now I do.

[jewelchic]

Wow-that's so kind of you-thanks xxxxxxxx

[Proculled]

I have linked this video to my channel but can't get it to start automatic when someone visits my channel.How is it done?

[seneca4295]

You,ve got to be in the youtube partnership program to be able to do that.

[jewelchic]

Thanks so much for linking-the autoplay is a feature with You tube partnership xxx

[onemon22]

I will be doing my part.

[jewelchic]

Good for you David xxx

[itsageoffrushthing]

Props to you Megan and gang!

Everyone, do what you can to help get these guys back on their feet! I wish I could donate blood, but I've been helping out in other ways by collecting tons of bottled water and essential items, plus donating money.

[jewelchic]

That's great-everyone can just do what they can-everything counts xxx

[WickedofAus]

This is a great thing you guys have done. I don't know of anyone here in Victoria who doesn't know of someone who has been affected. The countrywide response has been amazing. Let's keep it up, ongoing donations are important.

[jewelchic]

Absolutely spot on xxxxxxxxxx

[Pippilly]

Breaks my heart being here while this is going on. My heart peels for everyone effected!

Faved and featuring on my channel. Wonderful collab!

[jewelchic]

Hey you!!! GREAT to hear from you!!!!!!! Thanks xxxxxxx

[BoardwalkProduction]

i was only a 1:25 into the video, and nearly crying. Its an amazing video,

all these people featured in this video, are very amazing to do this, our thoughts go out to you!

megan, im sure there going to love your jewelry that you make for them.

i love how the way this video was edited all intogether, making everyone telling a different story,that aligns. joining them together!

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!

[jewelchic]

Thanks-what a beautiful comment-much appreciated xxxxxxx

[Laselia]

I wish I can pick myself up from this chair and catch the next flight to Melb - Id do it! I just want to help out there! I've donated money to different shopping centres, redcross and I dont know what else to give! There is a cause on Facebook going on, if anyone is wanting to join - feel free to support the Victorians,

My heart goes out to the Victorians people! You're all in my prayers and in my thought and hope that the bushfire reduces and everyone is close to their families and friends. xx

[UpdownCourt09]

Hey what's the Facebook page? I would love to join that. :-)

[jewelchic]

Thank-you xxxxxxx

[Angitia41]

I promise to donate what I can..

RIP for those who lost their lives and for the animals..

Also for for those who lost their homes...Rest assure all will be ok spirits remain high and never ever give up...

Blessed Be

)O(

[jewelchic]

Good for you-that's lovely xxxxx

[UpdownCourt09]

My parents donated $10,000. Hope everyone with enough money would donate, especially those well off. Love to see the stimulus package idea head towards the victims instead. I just LOVE the Australian way of helping out our fellow Aussies, this is a great country to live in.

[jarrahjoe]

Hands off the Stimulus Package Please! No offence but, It's easy to say such a thing if you come from a family that can "Afford" to donate $10K. You have to remember that there's people Battling all over this country! People that can't even afford the stamp and envelope let alone any money to put inside it for a donation to the Redcross! This is OZ and we WILL look after our fire victims, as you say it's "the A ustralian way". But that Stimulus Package is gonna help alot of other Aussies too!

[jewelchic]

Yes-you are right-which is why everyone should just do what they can-it might even be helping someone with their kids or buying some school books-it doesn't have to COST a lot to mean a lot xxxxxxx

[jay66lara]

I think if everyone does a little bit, and it doesnt have to be much it all adds up. Even going through your kids clothes to find things that they dont wear or have grown out of or toys they dont play with are practical ways of helping.

[jewelchic]

Wow-that's very lovely of them. I love the Aussie way too xxxxxx

[GemmaHey]

you should all go and help!!!!

Its not enough to donate mony and sending spiritly noncence!

Go!Help!

[zamnelna]

Thats a dumb thing to say...sorry....but whats the use of thousands of people turning up in a place that is EXTREMELY lacking in accomodation and food and such, just so they can "help" by standing around doing very little! Those that CAN help (physically) ARE helping, and those that can't, are donating items/time/money.

Favourited...well done!

Prayers to all involved, and a great big hug to ALL Australians who are helping in every way possible!!!

[jewelchic]

We are all helping-everyone is. This is a 6 minute video-you do not see everything.

[ashiamalashia]

I donated ten dollars. I hope that everyone stays safe.

[jewelchic]

Good for you-that's awesome xxxxxxx

[lister0fsmeg]

jewelchic, love your idea.

[jewelchic]

Thanks Peter xxxxxxx

[DandCVideos]

Megan sending our support and love! :) David and Charmaine

[jewelchic]

Thanks so much guys-big kiss to you and Happy Valentines Day xxxxxxxxxxx

[FiPfft]

Thank you to everybody involved in producing and sharing this video. It's a sensitive and informative look at the devastation that has occurred and how everybody can do something to help.

Following this reminder, I'm going to redouble my efforts to procure goods for treatment of animals injured or left homeless in the fires. I hope many others are inspired also to find out what they can to assist those in need and then to do it with a passion.

[wickedaustraliavids]

i live on the outskirts of the bush and we were packed and ready to go! so glad we were spared but soo sad to hear of all those who have died

[jewelchic]

OH-i am so glad you are safe!!! That must have been very scary to even have that experience! xxx

[wickedaustraliavids]

we have given as much as we can and a toaster... i can understand why people want to defend their houses cos i hated the thought of loosing what i couldnt pack. but dont think its worth loosing lives over. we were going to leave as soon as there is a fire anywhere near our area. its a wonderful video well done.

[glenny3972]

This shit is too shocking for words.....bless those that passed especially the little ones........Thanks for the video

[jewelchic]

It is-you are right. Thanks for watching-...and it's nice to hear from you-it's been a while xxx

[miarrghh]

Wow this is an amazing way to spread the word. Good on you guys!

My heart goes out to each and everyone of you in Victoria.

[jewelchic]

Thanks xxxxxxxxx

[garyco345]

Give and help in such a way so as innocent people can live and recover.That things can regrow and re-develope again.Lend a hand or give $ generously.

[jewelchic]

Exactly-help can come in many different forms xxxxx

[MrHollick]

As someone very familiar with California fires I hope you are safe megan! These are very very horrible things

[jewelchic]

We are safe in Melbourne-it's about 1 1/2 hours away, although there was a suburban one that gave some people a fright. We have been smelling the fires in Melbourne for the last few days though now and the light is kind of yellowy sometimes. Thanks for asking xxxxxx

[antoniosjourney]

Great way to spread awareness and do some good to assist in the situation.

[jewelchic]

Hey Antonio-thanks xxxxxxxx

[BamBamsGurlMoo]

hey thanks so much for being a part you were awesome

[jewelchic]

You too and it was an honour to be invited xxxxxxxx

[Gday2u]

All this week, in speaking with family, friends & colleagues, I haven't come across anyone who doesn't know someone who hasn't been effected by these bushfires. Having lived in Melbourne my entire life and experienced the devastation of bushfires these are without doubt this countries most horrific natural disaster. The Anzac Spirit lives on!

[jewelchic]

Yeah-i know-that's so true xxxxxxxxx

[dctcool]

Thank you for sharing this video Megan you rock

[jewelchic]

It is a total pleasure to help-thank-you-your editing is AMAZING!!!!! xxxxxxxx

[thecuredTV]

Very nice video, it's appauling that someone has actually lit some of these fires on purpose and still tried to light fires after all this.

[jewelchic]

It really is xxx

[berrymanthomas]

good work

[HeatherGloria]

Jewelchic, you are so kind.

[jewelchic]

It was a collaboration of all of us and dctcool made it-he really deserves ALL the credit xxx

[adamP90X]

Too many tragedies happening :( The Bushfires in Australia and the Continental Airlines plane crash in Buffalo, NY last night. My heart is broken...

[jewelchic]

OMG!YES! I just read about that crash-how terribly sad! xxx
