No one is saying anything and it may still come out but the states must be exacerbated by the mess as they try to battle literal war zones.
Credit to Gladys cannot spell her name and her team (exceptions of the minister for emergency services looks like a drop kick) as they bat away the political questions and just trying to get on with the job at hand.

ScoMo is now known world wide as Scotty from Marketing.
Looks like he is stuck with his new nickname especially after the latest marketing effort/video.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has provided exceptional leadership throughout the crisis. Calm, measured, consistent (& present!)

Daniel Andrews, Victorian Premier has been doing a good job, though I think his task is easier.
Scott Morrison has gone to get advice from John Howard today according to David Speers on the ABC. Good idea.

That's good all of our PM's have been given disparaging titles, it is something we are very good at, taking the pizz out of people in high positions.
It is in our DNA, just read any of our papers or watch any of our current affairs programes for the last 20 years, everyone gets a serve.
We would be the Worlds leaders at taking the pizz out of our own.
Tell me one Australian leader of either party that hasn't been ridiculed?

Well China has a vested interest, in making sure he doesn't burn down their infrastructure.

Thanks for the spelling "Gladys Berejiklian" I hope her health is OK some of the footage she looks quite unwell.

Lamentedly (from grumpy old bastard viewpoint) as our population changes so does our DNA (but that's another story and off topic)

Creative way of enabling all political parties to tackle CC adaptation and mitigation on a united basis.
Maybe..
The bushfire crisis has given the Government a political 'out' to its climate change problem
.... You need to lead
It could be the turning point for Australia's climate change politics and policy that is so deeply in the ditch.
It could allow Government politicians to discard their past destructive stance on climate change, and give the opposition an opportunity to look to the future.
How climate change has impacted the world since your childhood
Global warming is already changing the world before our eyes — let's see what has happened in your lifetime, and what's in store for your future.
So dear Prime Minister and Cabinet, please find it within yourselves to drop the old anti-climate change stance.
You have created the perception of being aloof, uncaring and ineffective on the fires. This was epitomised in the way the Prime Minister turned his back on a resident of fire-ravaged Cobargo when she pleaded for help and the partisan way of going about the announcement of the federal measures.
You will need to lead, and that means showing concern and acknowledging that climate change is a huge issue for Australia.
And you will need to pivot on climate change policy. You've been politically locked into a no-action position, but the bushfires give you the reason to change. The bulk of Australia's business community will be behind you, they yearn for sensible national climate policy.
You can make it your mission to protect the country from harm, an essential conservative cause.
Your biggest problem will be the Murdoch media, some rabid backbenchers and some coal companies. But you are in charge, right?

David Speers free of the Murdoch shackles
When it comes to political clumsiness, the Prime Minister's Hawaiian holiday was hard to top.
But the Liberal Party advertisement released late yesterday, as dozens of communities faced horror bushfire conditions, came close.
The ad shows Scott Morrison in the field, taking charge (angry locals refusing to shake his hand are nowhere to be seen). Firefighters battle the flames with abundant support from Defence Force personnel and aerial assets. The Federal Government's contributions are proudly listed in on-screen text. Uplifting background music instils confidence that this is a man with a plan.

He's a complete joke. We need a visionary leader not a marketing stooge.
Good article that sums up our situation. Surprising read for crikey.

Craig Kelly savaged by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain.

The issue that kept getting repeated was very true, 'it doesn't matter, if the politician has what is best for the Country, at heart'.
As with most people, in most professions, there are only a few that put personal gain second to doing a good job.IMO
As the U.S shows, it isn't the political structure that is at fault, it is the way the politicians do their job that is the failing.
That Morrison intervened to save Craig Kelly's preselection maybe confirms he is a fellow traveller on the CC denail bus.

Or that Morrison is dead scared of the Right in his party.
The centre alliance tried to get a vote up for a Federal ICAC...that was voted down by both of the major parties.I guess an ICAC could investigate retrospectively.That would have them all running for cover.It is hard to have respect for a lot of politicians.You may well call parliament coward's castle but I much prefer dogshite heaven.
