"The one point I would make, politically, is agility is the key so don't make an announcement about money if you aren't going to put it in bank accounts that same day," he said.

"We've got mobile service teams on the ground every day in bushfire zones to help people get access to the federal government's support and for people who can, the quickest way to find out how we can help is to call 180 22 66."has been told that federal government cash can hit accounts in as little as 30 minutes but it can take up to four days depending on the bank.

But he said it was also critical that government bureaucracy asked what people needed and wanted, rather than making decisions on their behalf."There has been a great deal of public empathy, which is why you have seen so many donations of things like clothes, but government needs to be very cautious about identifying what people actually want and need," Professor McFarlane said.

AlexSmithSMH Hello Alex but Constance has been a senior member of State government for now the third term, stop insulting readers with this propaganda

AlexSmithSMH AndrewConstance 'can't give false hope'. Tell that to Emergency Services Minister David Elliott who promised in budget estimates to provide volunteer firefighters 'everything they possibly need' but hasn't. *Page 30, para. 1 at

AlexSmithSMH A Liberal politician in touch with his community? Amazing...

AlexSmithSMH As a long term State Minister, where has AndrewConstance been in the fire/climate/science debate? Sitting back with his arms folded letting his Federal friend’s turn our state into an incinerator.

AlexSmithSMH Afraid MPandrewConstance will plead until he is worn to a cinder. The donations will only be in the form of petty,fraudulent, voucher handouts. This is the method that has always been used in a crisis or disaster. People who donate their big bucks in good faith should realize.

AlexSmithSMH Better be quick before him and Gladys spend it on a stupid cruise ship terminal at Yarra Bay or a stadium!!! saveyarrabay

AlexSmithSMH People who lost their homes months ago are still waiting for help
