Anthony Albanese has criticised Scott Morrison for negotiating a compensation deal with only NSW volunteer firefighters, as the bushfire crisis continues. "I don't understand why it is that the Prime Minister has just negotiated with the New South Wales Premier, rather than convening COAG and getting an approach across the nation," he said. On Sunday, the government announced volunteer NSW firefighters who have spent at least ten days battling blazes in the state would receive up to $6,000 in compensation. The move was designed to support crews through an 'unusually demanding' season, but prime minister said it should not set a precedent for permanent payments. The Opposition Leader said the ongoing crisis requires a national approach and again called Mr Morrison to convene a COAG meeting. Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
