SameI honestly thought this was to raise awareness about what’s happening in Australia.

Assisting Australia
We wanted to take a moment to address the recent difficulties Australia is currently facing.
Please know that we planned this event long before the tragedy of the bushfires that have raged in Australia for many weeks. This event is neither meant to highlight nor ignore the situation there. Instead, we hope to celebrate Australia as the beloved paradise we know it to be in better days.
If you'd like to read more about this, or contribute to the wildfire relief efforts in Australia, please see this post here: https://forum.partyinmydorm.com/threads/support-fighting-the-australian-wildfires.141598/
Thanks so much for understanding

Not one Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander ata? How can you make an Australian hunt yet neglect to include its traditional owners? We are trying to close the gap, exclusion doesn't help anyone.

It most certainly is not.

The timer box looks cooler than the actual hunt box other than that I have no problem with this hunt
This hunt seems redundant if you want to raise "awareness" about what's going on in Australia considering how it's actually been going on for MONTHS. If none of the proceeds from this hunt goes to aiding Australia with what's going on over there then I don't get why this hunt's happening now in the first place. Maybe you guys actually forgot that Lunar New Year is coming up in a few days so allow me to remind you that even though your company is located in Vancouver which is literally one of the most diverse city in Canada with a lot of Asian people. If this hunt was planned a long time ago then what about the Lunar New Year hunt? You decided to just scratch it off cus you think releasing an Australian hunt would be more lucrative? And/or cut the hunt in less than half and throw it in as a half-arsed side hunt? Well, good on you, ATA. I'm genuinely disappointed but I sure hope you're at least going to donate some, if not all of the proceeds to Australia instead of taking advantage of something bad that's happening to actual people and living beings.Probably they will do Lunar new year something similar to Diwali festival.

I assume they plan these things with a schedule in mind, switching likely isn’t as easy as you think.
Sure the “Vacation” aspect of the hunt sucks rn but at least we can learn a bit about the culture and a dev made a separate thread with links to charities to donate to if one decides to open their heart.

So you guys acknowledge the issue happening is Australia, still throw this hunt, but do nothing to help or give this hunts monetary proceeds to the efforts in helping? Lol nice. 
That's fine but it seemed as if they didn't even plan for a full Lunar New Year hunt in the first place so were they just hoping for the wildfire to keep going until they could release this hunt? I get that the Indian community is big in the game but Lunar New Year is celebrated by almost all of Asians and not just Chinese, even Koreans, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese people celebrate it so do they think it's a good time to "show awareness" about a hunt than it happening while dismissing their entire Asian community? We've been having LNY hunts every year, it's almost a tradition on the game now. Can't help but to think they're trying to benefit off something terrible.
The vacation aspect of the hunt doesn't just suck, the entire hunt sucks not because it's not cool, I think it's a bomb hunt, but it's honestly not appropriate to release it right now. My point is, the hunt is painfully overdue, they're not doing actual things to help and the hunt is about how "beautiful" Australia is instead of what's happening over there, people who don't read forums wouldn't even know what's going on if they weren't aware of the wildfires and they still won't be.
