Over-Exposure?
Is it just me that finds it a bit depressing that the news Harry & Meghan have 'quit' the Royal Family, is apparently so important it's pushed the bushfire crisis off the front pages & news headlines?
I understand we're probably suffering from a bit of crisis fatigue & need a break from endless stories & photos of forests, homes & animals on fire, but I can't help feeling that this is the modern attention span in action - the fires have had their moment in the global consciousness, now onto the next thing... Pretty soon, a GoFundMe page will be set up for the ex-Royal couple, to raise money for them to get a house in Canada, because the poor dears are homeless...
Meanwhile, the mad weather continues down here. The south-east of the country is bracing for more hot, dry weather, while the north-west is under threat from cyclones!!
What next?!?!?!?
