This is a sad example of the state of OZ politics and political reporting. He shouldn't have tried to cover the fact he was in Hawaii but what do people expect Morrison to do? Drive a fire truck? Fly a water-bombing helicopter? Fire Brigades are run by State Governments and Bush Fire Brigades are run by Local Councils. Zero Federal Government involvement. The only person dumb enough to criticise him was Sarah Hanson Young, fresh from her defamation victory over another Senator who implied she was an active heterosexual. Australians have been fighting bush fires since long before Morrison was born. Does she think they need a suburban accountant to yell out, "Spray the water on the fire?"
Every time Hanson Young opens her mouth I'm glad nobody ever asks me why I still vote Greens. Even her own party leader, Richard Di Natale, didn't back her up on this. You know why? Because he's also on holiday. By the way Sarah, have you ever volunteered at your local Bush Fire Brigade? Parliament finished on 5 December, have you been out helping to fight fires?
I'm getting sick of the hype around these fires. Yes they are bad but most of them are in unpopulated areas. The death toll now is up to 8 which is sad but that's across a month in 3 States.
