So, a few days after my last post, our Prime Minister has returned. On a charter flight, not the private government craft that just had millions spent on getting it refurbished. His speech lacked any kind of apology for running out of the country, instead dropping the blame on his kids. See, he booked this holiday seven weeks ago (WHEN MOST OF THE COUNTRY WAS ALREADY ON FIRE) and he promised them! He couldn't disappoint them, right? Then halfway through, he changes the subject to go on about how wonderful coal power is, just in case we forgot who holds his leash.
Rather than do anything to contribute today, be it updating the media on where the fires are, where evacuation efforts are aimed, arrange emergency funding for the trucks and currently unpaid firefighters, maybe meet with the 23 former state fire chiefs who he's been avoiding since April, he staged a photo op where he's 'briefed' on the situation. You know that staged photo op Trump did after the IS leader was killed, with him and some generals all sitting around an empty table smiling at a camera? Mostly that. Although it was the newly arrived Canadian volunteer firefighters hustled into it, all looking awkward, because the Australians told him to fuck off and actually WORK.
*Longer Sigh*
