He can't even deal with the very simple little issues like remuneration for volunteers let alone the much much harder big decisions around climate, sustainability and the environment.
God won't save him, in just the same way God won't save many of the bush fire victims.
Scomo has to go, in my opinion his position is now untenable. If the Libs are as pissweak as they seem he might make it to the next election, but the merest reminder of his current fright frozen state makes him repugnant to voters!
Julie Bishop was the leader this country needed.

Likewise, but I notice there is an underlying current of anger in some of what he says. I've a hunch he's a closet misogynist but hasn't come to grips with it yet. His academic intelligence is outstanding, but his emotional intelligence maybe not so much ?

ScoMo is pissweak because of the lack of action, and his willingness to so proudly hang his hat on that lack of action like he's a hero!
Excuse me, excuse me!
No question MoSco is pissweak, but what action are you expecting exactly?
I keep hearing this line - it's just lightweight rhetoric.

This bloke is incapable of pulling the trigger, he wants somebody else to make the decision or to wait to the last moment when there is no decision left to be made. His philosophy seems clear, No decisions = No mistakes!
Secondly, he can stop finger-pointing at the states and spend some money on our national fire fighting resources like the air based fire defence systems. Nobody is arguing against this, but only the Feds have the resources to actually do it!
Then of course, he can stop pandering to marginal interests, quit jumping in front of cameras with a bag of groceries(FFS! :o ) and take some real action on issues like hazard reduction and control. Arguing against it, or that it's a local council or state responsibility, is like claiming China's carbon emissions stop at it's border!
ScoMo exhibits all the worst traits of just about every ineffective manager I've ever come across, to think their parties voted blokes like ScoMo and Trump in is bizarre enough, to leave them in control borders on criminal neglect! One is taking us into a global war while the other burns the farm!

So he is now responsible for all fires in Australia according to you?
He should simply override state powers.
Imagine if he did that!
Oh and he should also dictate China’s carbon emissions. I can see that working well, telling your biggest customer how to behave.
You might want to think about the ramifications of all those little proposals

He's turned out to be another spud, the hard blue right should admit the mistake and move on! Their efforts are as far from the bullseye as the Greens or Labor!

btw., Unlike what the blue believers think, the term "right" doesn't mean correct!

So he should just take over the states powers?
And tell China how to behave.

Typical, disputing any idea of actually doing something with a "What could they do?" argument, followed by criticism of all and any who actually try to do something, and then claiming to know all the answers without actually offering any possible solutions! Then, shortly to come, a retrospective complaint about the costs!
Paralysis by indetermination!
ScoMo's bringing in the reserves after the battle is lost and the front line troups are exhausted. What a true bloody British officer he is, scrambling through the ashes and across the dead proclaiming "What hell!"
But not all is wasted, he delivers us a new clear dictionary definition of "Pathetic!"
pathetic
