The Australian government's response to the fire raised questions
The states are generally responsible for mountain fire rescue in Australia. Despite the fierce mountain fire this year, the federal government adheres to the attitude of "not breaking the rules" in response, mainly coordinating and cooperating with the state and local governments to provide some material and logistical support.
According to foreign media reports, under the Australian federal political system, the state government and fire departments are responsible for responding to the threat of jungle fire, and Australia's fire services are basically 'zero compensation'. The New York Times reported that tens of thousands of firefighters (most of them are volunteers) have worked for weeks, sometimes 12 hours a day. The pressure on firefighters raises questions about whether the country is too dependent on volunteers.
However, as the mountain fire crisis intensified, Morrison's' conservative 'approach was questioned by the public.
Last December, Morrison was also criticized for taking a vacation in Hawaii during the mountain fire. An Australian Tourist took a picture of Australian Prime Minister Morrison on vacation in Hawaii. According to the daily mail of the United Kingdom on the 23rd, the tourist asked Morrison whether he would return to Australia to 'solve the problem of jungle fires'. Morrison replied, no, because it's a state problem, and it's not under his control.
On the 6th, a firefighter couldn't help scolding Prime Minister Scott middot; Morrison's video is on hot search.
