|Prime Minister Scott Morrison has outlined the details of the government’s royal commission into the nation’s devastating summer of bushfires, saying its main objective is to “keep Australians safe”. "I said some weeks ago now that it would be necessary to move forward with a national royal commission ... into the 'Black summer' fires," Mr Morrison said.
Mr Morrison said the royal commission will be focused on a three-pronged approach, primarily relating to improving natural disaster management coordination across all levels of government, improving Australia's "resilience and adaptation to a changing climate" and for providing a legal framework for Commonwealth involvement in future national emergencies. The royal commission is set to be led by the former head of the Australian Defence Force, Mark Binskin.
