Overseas Network, January 8th Since September 2019, the Australian wildfire has lasted for four months, killing at least 25 people, burning more than 2,000 houses and displaced thousands. Recently, due to concerns that people are aggravated, the three largest radio stations in Australia have decided to ban songs related to "fire".
According to the Daily Mail on the 8th, the three largest radio stations in Australia have decided to ban the playback of songs related to "fire" from Wednesday (8th). This decision was made because the song "Fire Meet Gasoline" by female singer Xiya (Sia) was widely sung. At a time when the country is suffering from the fire and , this song is considered "insensitive". Southern Cross Austereo, the parent company of
radio, has confirmed that the move will be implemented nationwide. The spokesman said that since the entire country is plagued by forest fires, in order to avoid aggravate the public's panic, any songs that mention fire, burning and breathing difficulties will be blacklisted, including many popular music in Australia, and a group of old songs that had existed before the fires were also shot.
Australian Radio Network said the company will regularly review playlists and actively focus on the impact of songs on listeners.

However, this move does not seem to be understood by local people, and many people criticized the radio's decision through social media.
A user said, "This country has become weak. In the past, Australians were the strongest and most resilient people on the planet, but now we have become laughing stocks."
Someone criticized sharply, "Silly, meaningless, just a show."
It is reported that due to the recent continuous high temperature and dry weather in Australia, the momentum of the wildfire remains unabated, and the thick smoke produced by the fire has now floated to southern Brazil. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on the 6th that he would allocate $2 billion for disaster relief and reconstruction. (Overseas Network Li Xiaohang)
