The move is designed to support crews through an 'unusually demanding' season, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it should not set a precedent for permanent payments. Mr Morrison stressed the payments would be provided as compensation to those who are self-employed or work in small to medium businesses who have lost income as a result of fighting the fires.
The volunteer NSW firefighters would also have had to have spent at least ten days battling blazes in the state. Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese criticised Mr Morrison on Sunday for negotiating a deal with NSW and leaving volunteers from other states who have travelled to assist with the firefighting effort in the lurch. The Prime Minister insisted if other state Premiers took up the deal, volunteers would be compensated for time spent in NSW.
And not a single cent of that being contributed by Murdoch...zero income tax payable.😐

Resistance is always his first reaction auspol Never in the history of AUS politics was a future election success handed to a moribund opposition on a plate. The current government is totally out of touch with the electorate and fully deserves to lose.
