The Greens Senators join with all Australians in reaching out to all those who have lost so much and so many loved ones in the weekend's bushfires.

The nation's heart is with the victims of this bushfire horror.

I join with all Australians in expressing sheer heartfelt sorrow and empathy with the people who have lost so much, so cruelly, in this inferno.

We thank and pay the highest tribute to the thousands of professionals and volunteers fighting the fires and helping the victims, often at great risk to themselves.

The Greens will be backing efforts by federal, state and local government to bring urgent aid and assistance to everyone involved.

The Greens are encouraging anyone who can afford to, to help out with donations for those who have lost everything, as well as to fire services across Australia.If you can give blood, supplies will be desperately needed.

Online donations via the Red Cross can be made here.
