'JUST as experts predicted Australia’s catastrophic bush fires of this summer decades ago, they also agree that poor communities around the world will be the most vulnerable in a hotter, drier and more unpredictable climate.
'Aboriginal people in remote communities will be among the hardest hit.

The Central Land Council’s former director joined the board of the AFL Northern Territory only weeks before he gained membership to an even more exclusive club - the general division of the Order of Australia.
