Scott Morrison has sought to repair strains in his relationship with state authorities after a crucial bushfire announcement caught emergency bosses by surprise. 9News

"There was a breakdown of communications at the defence liaison level with the headquarters yesterday. We've addressed any issues that have arisen from that."

"We have had that discussion and the communications have been addressed," Mr Morrison told reporters. Mr Morrison on Sunday shrugged off questions about his leadership during the national bushfire crisis."The public, I know, are not distracted by that." Mr Morrison said he would "reject absolutely" any suggestion the video was a political advertisement.

"This is one of the most tone-deaf things I've ever seen a country's leader put out during a crisis. Shameless & shameful," he posted on Twitter.

Lol Kirk.... Troll bot rating of 55%.... Looks like you are paddling in the shallow end of the pool mate...

Does something good and still get slammed

Blah Blah Blah.

Water management water management or the country is doomed

So....for absolutely AGES everyone has been bagging the hell out of the Government for not bringing in the Army - then they bring in the Army (who at the time were already contributing) - and they are still bagged. What the hell is wrong with people ?

how did that happen - he can’t ring everyone - he informed the State Premiers it’s like the general in the army - he tells captains, the captains tell the lieutenants, they tell the sergeants and platoon leaders

This fire 'crisis' might just be Australia's version of 'Russian collusion' because the outrage at scomo is really unfair...all he did wrong imo was win an election...18 may 2019.

should make this much earlier

Scott Morrison defends 'tone deaf' video in tweetPrime Minister Scott Morrison has defended a video posted on social media detailing the government&x27;s bushfire response after it was labelled "shameless" and a breach of political advertising rules. piersmorgan The majority of people get their news off social media. They no longer watch tv news or read newspapers. Morrison using a video on social media to inform those people is a good idea. And for those going apeshit over the authorisation at the end of the video, it’s the law MayneReport The PM doth protest too much, methinks.

The perplexing failures of Scott Morrison in the face of a predictable catastropheGeorge W Bush's failure to immediately recognise a catastrophe during Hurricane Katrina tells us what problems are created by Scott Morrison's perplexing failures of political and policy judgement The ABC laying blame on the PM. When it is itself to blame for promoting arson and vandalism on its own shows. That pander to a far left extremist audience. The ABC is exactly like the leader of a cult, revving up its follwers before an attack. ABC mission accomplished!

That party needs to be dissolved

Defend defend. Here we go again Morrison is a disgrace. As people have said, if it is about the Government, then it should have been authorised by the Australian Government, Canberra. This video is a political ad for the Liberal Party; it's that black and white.
