government time because there an almighty row about the prime minister scott morrison taking a holiday, as a lot of australia has been burningack of resources. they haven't got the resources to put the fires out, so they are beginning to use this as a stick to beat the government, and of course it's part of the iconography, if i can put it like that, the images of the climate change row will stop this is what is running through it and its emotions and we've got to find out what is really going on, how much the fires can in any way be related to a romantic or environmental change. but it is a mighty big australian i’ow. but it is a mighty big australian row. fact though, the last six australian prime ministers have had real problems with can ijust put it like this, the climate change row. it's a constant now of australian politics, so if it won't be, i'm sure the fireworks will go ahead. there are three factors you've mentioned two, one is a lack of resources and i read that in new south wales they'd actually cut back on some of the funding for fighting fires when we know there is a bushfire season in australia. it just seems

that's right scott morrison has decided to go on holiday with his family as australia burns it's not a good look and he certainly hasn't gone down well with that many people in australia and there's certainly a big debate going on here about the kools of the bushfire crisis many people of blaming the government for not addressing climate change and reducing the country's reliance on fossil fuels no but others argue that there's no direct link between climate change and the drought and droughts of course are part and parcel of australian history but as it is here it's traders to draw it's continent on earth so it you know what the league is between the 2 has yet to be really a steady supply of somebody because even so the right of center conservative government has. actually. i like that but if. we do that. well the prime minister has a way a wife partly with his family and apparently we've heard today that he deliberately his media minders asked reporters not to mention that fact a few days ago but of course so that is no druce didn't know scott morrison was expected to return. and o
