Australian navy begins evacuations as massive bushfire threat looms: PM jeered

This is very bad, yet just the beginning of what we all will face in the future.

Slo Mo {Morrison PM } says he "doesn't take the heckling personally "

Well mate, you should.

Wants to create a multi million dollar statue to celebrate Captain Cook in his own electorate.

Says funding Fire Services {like aircraft and trucks } are a state matter.

Man, has this little Liberal been found wanting.

I hope these events are terminal to his leadership.

I note the supporters are still blaming the greens {sigh } and cannot mention climate change without swooning and calling "Jeeves...the smelling salts "

Hats off to all emergency service workers and volunteers. Heroes each. Hearts out to those suffering from this latest ordeal, one of the worst I can recall.

Gurumick:

Says funding Fire Services {like aircraft and trucks } are a state matter.

And if he put it under the federal govt others would say he's taking away states rights and is building big brother. You can't win in politics. Someone's always not happy. Surprised none with burning homes are mad at god or the devil, or companies spewing CO².

This is awful. Hopefully it will end soon and the harm and damage can be minimized.

Everything is on fire, the PM of Australia enjoys fireworks and trips to Hawaii while people are losing their lives and homes... People don't care you "promised your kids".... he is a complete idiot!

When long-range aircraft switched from three to two engines, the once popular DC-10, being a gas-guzzler, suddenly became unpopular. Turns out that the three engine configuration aids maneuverability at low speeds; that, plus its massive capacity, have made them the perfect fire tanker. (I've seen them in action: truly impressive. Must be fun to fly.)

It wouldn't be a stretch for California to send a few out, maybe with a stop in Honolulu. There's no danger of fire in California now thanks to the wet winter, so the planes are probably just taking up space.

Morrison is a muppet who is completely out of his depth...

Since he is derelict in his duties of office he should resign in disgrace or be ousted by Parliament or the Governor-General.

@bigyen: Australia is part of the Commonwealth, the governor general or even the Queen of England can kick the entire government out at any time. It happened in the 70's in Australia.

But not, you'll notice, for merely being a hypocrite who deserts his post when his country needs leadership.

I'm no Aussie but can't at least Parliament withdraw support or refuse to cooperate with ScoMo? He obviously has 'fiddled while Rome burned' and he is derelict and negligent. He just doesn't seem to give a damn. So why should the rest of the government or the people even have anything to do with this loafer?

Political parties are team players. They don't like to break ranks. Morrison's party is in the majority, I believe. Same reason why US Senate wont convict Trump - political parties are team players. Although in the US case, the presidential system is rigged because the referee (head of state) is also the coach (head of govt). Parliamentary at least splits that.
