1DESIGN AND INNOVATION
Introduction
The topic of the discussion in this paper is regarding the funding problems that have
appeared lately in the bushfire problems in Australia. This is regarded as a huge disaster all over
the country since numerous people have lost their lives, shelters and means of earning their
livelihood. The responsibility of the government is all the more to provide them with all the
necessary things like money, medicine and all the necessary things. The situation went out of
hand as thousands of people and animals had died brutally (Dutta, Das & Aryal, 2016). A large
forest region had completely burned down. This paper will look to identify the problems in the
fundraising issues that might lead to the better conditions of these homeless people in Australia.
The impact of less funding has been very negatively impactful on this scenario. The constraints
and scope to develop the situation will be addressed in this paper so all the people in the country
can be assured that the government is with them always.
Problem identification
It has been found through the research works that the problems regarding the bushfire
funding lies in the distribution of money properly. Most of the critics have opined that the main
issues have risen from the fact that Government has allocated a fund of $2 billion but the proper
distribution of that money has not been done effectively. Apart from the physical losses, the
financial loss and the wildlife loss are the two most important things to be described here. The
development of the proper design approach is highly needed in this concern.
It is expected that the allocation of the money will be done properly and the distribution
will be done accordingly also (Dutta, Das & Aryal, 2016). Many small businesses like farming,
agriculture, fish and forestry had gone through huge losses due to this scenario. This disaster has

left many deep impacts on the mental health of many people in the region. The medical
assistance has to be sent to these regions to the affected people including the children. Therefore
it has become all the more interesting to provide them with all kinds of care in the society. The
losses faced by the primary producers will have to be taken care by the government since this
might shortage of food and other essential things within the country. (Taylor, Tharapos &
Sidaway, 2014).
Scope
There are some scopes to provide some better solutions to the people who have been
largely affected by the bushfires, The primary producers, local tribal people with their children,
The conditions of these primary producers must be developed properly so they can be motivated
to come back stronger with their business (Strahan, Whittaker & Handmer, 2019). Actually,
these people and their efforts form the backbone of the economy.
Therefore, their well being must be kept in mind despite the lack of proper funding from
the government. Most families living in those areas with their children have felt the problems in
this scenario (Taylor, Tharapos & Sidaway, 2014). This is why there are scopes to look after
their financial well being and help them with money and food for their survival. The allocated
amount for this purpose by the Federal government of Australia is $8 million. Proper steps must
be taken in this regard so their overall condition can be improved.
The federal government should also help the local council with money and resources so
the local poor people do not die of hunger and diseases. Proper surveillance channels can be set
up in this regard so the affected people get the help (Mannakkara & Wilkinson, 2016). The data
should be collected by the government agencies to figure out the actual loss in the region.
