Australia has been experiencing a catastrophic bushfire season for months now, with no end in sight. Celebrities from Australia and around the world have taken to social media to provide information about ways people can support firefighting efforts and provide support to people and animals affected by the fires. Others, including Australian feminist Clementine Ford and American actress Bette Midler, criticised the response of Australian prime minister Scott Morrison. As of 8 AM Saturday morning local time, nearly six million hectares (60,000 sq km or 14.8 million acres) of bush, forest and parks have been burned and there were nearly 150 fire incidents being reported in New South Wales, with catastrophic weather conditions expected across many affected areas.
