Meanwhile, exhausted volunteer firefighters clock on for their 5th 12-hour shift this week.
All tuckered out from a week on the beaches of Hawaii, casual racist and part-time Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has taken a much-needed break on the sands of Bronte.
While the nation’s firefighters risk their lives battling apocalyptic firestorms and “want to be there”, Mr Morrison wants to be at the beach.
The PM, who receives a $549,250 per year handout from the Australian people for bumming around while the coal industry and News Corp do the hard work of running the Government, also says it’s important we “not be too distracted” by the issue of paying firefighters.
Fair enough too, it must take a lot of concentration to do nothing in the midst of a national emergency.
