PM failing to meet the tone of the community on bushfires: Albanese

Anthony Albanese has criticised Scott Morrison for a failure of leadership as fires devastate Australia’s east coast. The opposition leader told reporters on Wednesday the prime minister was not taking the situation seriously enough and again called on Mr Morrison to call a COAG to formulate a national response to the issue. “Obviously he is treating it seriously … but what we are not getting is the sort of coordination that we need,” Mr Albanese said. “We need a considered response but I think that the prime minister, in terms of some of his tone, could accurately reflect the views I am getting back from the community, where ever I go.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
