RFS denies sacking firefighter over expletive-laden rant at Morrison

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has thrown his support behind a firefighter who criticised him at the height of the bushfire crisis. Paul Parker claimed he was removed from duty after he was filmed launching an expletive-laden rant at the prime minister, accusing him of poorly handling the disaster. Mr Morrison said on Monday the firefighter had his full support, adding “I understand Paul was feeling incredibly exhausted and drained and he was working his tail off defending his community”. The NSW Rural Fire Service confirmed Mr Parker was not dismissed from his duties over the January 25 comments. Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
