Australia Welcomed 2020 with an Impressive New Years Display at the Sydney Harbour
Sydney's iconic New Year's Eve fireworks went ahead despite the wildfire crisis to show the world Australia’s resiliency, the prime minister said, On Sunday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison also announced financial support for some volunteer firefighters in New South Wales, the state worst hit by wildfires ravaging the nation.
“The world looks at Sydney every single year and they look at our vibrancy, they look at our passion, they look at our success,” he said. “In the midst of the challenges that we face, subject to the safety considerations, I can think of no better time to express to the world just how optimistic and positive we are as a country.”
The City of Sydney Council gave the green light although fire authorities warned that the fireworks could be canceled if catastrophic conditions are declared.
Morrison said that eligible volunteer firefighters will receive 300 Australian dollars ($209) a day, up to AU$6,000 ($4,190) in total, if called out to battle blazes for more than 10 days. The compensation focused on people who are self-employed or work for small and medium businesses.
“The early and prolonged nature of this fire season has made a call beyond what is typically made on our volunteer firefighters," he said.
Morrison, who has been under pressure since taking a much-criticized family vacation to Hawaii during the wildfire crisis, announced last week that volunteer firefighters from the federal public sector will receive paid leave entitlements.
The opposition Labor party has been pressing the government to consider widespread compensation for volunteer firefighters.
“A lot of everyone's stunned, a lot of time away from work," said Sean Warren, a volunteer firefighter for about seven years. "A lot of people are using up their annual leave as well. A lot of people are just missing their families ... they've skipped Christmas with their families and their grandchildren. So yeah, it’s a wide extreme of sacrifice that people have been putting in.”
Morrison said the compensation was necessary so that the New South Wales fires commissioner is in a position to continue to call out the volunteer force.
The program is expected to cost AU$50 million ($34.9 million) but will be uncapped with the first AU$10 million ($6.9 million) being made available next month. Morrison said it would be offered to other states and territories requesting help.
Wildfires have also flared in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia.
New South Wales, the country’s most populous state, has received the brunt of the wildfire catastrophe, which has killed nine people nationwide and razed more than 1,000 homes in the past few months.
High temperatures in the country’s east are expected until the new year. Sydney’s western suburbs were set to hit 41 degrees Celsius (106 Fahrenheit) Sunday before peaking at 44 C (111 F) on Tuesday.
Fire danger in Sydney and northern New South Wales is currently at very high.
New South Wales Rural Fire Services Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said 85 fires were still burning across the state with almost half of them not contained.
“We've got some deteriorating weather conditions over the coming days, particularly Monday and worsening through to Tuesday," he said.
An emergency warning was issued Sunday for Victoria’s east as conditions worsen. Melbourne, the state’s capital, was set to reach 43 C (109 F) on Monday.

Think before talking. I was there for this amazing firework along with millions of other visitors that generated billions that night. These fireworks couldn't be cancelled because the planning started almost a year ago and the money was already used for security, fireworks installation, portable toilets, wages, etc. If they can cancelled it, it would've been money wasted. You talk as if the Australian government was doing nothing, when they already spent millions in fighting the fires and they've already said profit from this fireworks were donated to help fight the fires.

Did not go for these ones though because it was stupid to even have them on with the state of the country.

To all the people 1) dissing the music and 2) dissing the fireworks cuz of the air pollution, listen to your own music while its on mute and if you want to stop air pollution then go out and stop it instead of just posting mean comments to destroy other people’s happiness.
