Starting with the drought which resulted in severe water restrictions and the threat of major regional cities and towns running out of water; the disastrous bushfires which seemed they would never end; extreme weather events with heavy rain, hail and high winds causing extensive damage and hindering the bushfire recovery process; and now we have simply rolled into the current global COVID-19 crisis which I am sure is consuming most of your time at the moment as Australasia moves into unprecedented times.</span></p> <p style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin: 0;"> </p> <p style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.2; mso-line-height-alt: 16px; mso-ansi-font-size: 14px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 14px;">I know that many of our members, staff, students and our communities suffered greatly as a result of the fires and storms.
