The 2019-20 Australian Bushfires, widely known as 'Black Summer,' transitioned from a tragic environmental event into a major meme subject through political satire and social commentary. Most memes focused on then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison's ill-timed holiday to Hawaii and his infamous 'I don't hold a hose' quote, which became symbols of perceived government apathy. Visual imagery often included the 'This is Fine' dog surrounded by Australian flora or photos of blood-red, apocalyptic skies. These memes functioned as a digital outlet for public anger, environmental advocacy, and the classic Australian 'larrikin' humor used to cope with national crises.
