Ordinary Aussie PM breaks his silence on the bushfire crisis: “There was ash in my champagne and a grittiness to my caviar. It was heartbreaking.”

Having spent weeks ignoring Australia’s worst ever bushfire crisis, with 2.2 million hectares burnt so far and no end in sight, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has given solace to the nation by empathising with the difficulties of enjoying the Christmas parties of billionaires in a cloud of smoke.

The PM said “My heart goes out to these frontline firefighters at breaking point all over the country. I couldn’t really relate to their struggles until Lachlan and Sarah’s soiree at their $4.4 million Bellevue Hill mansion “Le Manoir” on Thursday night, where conditions were just awful.”

The PM joined fellow guests Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, Crown Casino boss John Alexander, billionaire Gerry Harvey, Australia’s richest man, Anthony Pratt, Sky News Chief Executive Paul Whittaker, News Corp Executive Chair Michael Miller, Chief Executive of Racing NSW, Peter V’Landys, and Ryan Stokes, heir to Kerry Stokes’ fortune.

While thousands of brave men and women around the country risk their lives to save their fellow Australians from horrific firestorms, these heroic everyday billionaires, media moguls, and authoritarian leaders are doing their bit to leech off the taxpayer, commit climate crimes, and burn Australia to the ground.
