BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Australian newsrooms largely rely on Reuters/AFP wires, which are picked up by local editors, without conducting their own on-the-ground reporting

The Australian government's response is framed as prioritizing the evacuation of tourists and campers, with less emphasis on the experiences of local residents

There is limited coverage of the Australian government's political response, with no articles mentioning an official statement from Canberra on concrete climate aid or coordination with Europe
