Perception kills. ScoMo is done and dusted.
Everyone deserves a holiday. But not the PM when a national disaster is unfolding. He should have cancelled beforehand, or got back the moment it turned ugly.
Everyone likes the cricket, but a backyard cricket party when a national disaster is unfolding. Not a good look. It does provide a nice backdrop for the fires though!
He should have been front and centre rallying and preparing all available armed forces (national) and then publicly tell the states they can have whatever they need right now. And stump up to cover the volunteers lost wages from the get go.
These fires are a national disaster. That's federal. Regardless of the demarcation lines between state and federal govt.
And trying to force people to shake his hand - what a buffoon.
He missed the boat. Nothing he can do now.
