So our "PM steps up to lead on fires" (Editorial, 7/1). What a waste of time. Throwing money at yet more pointless enquiries and promises of support.
The support is essential but why did it take so long. And then spring up overnight.
This is Scotty from Marketing trying to buy back some public favour. I would prefer to have a Prime Minister who is an actual leader. A leader who can both act and inspire. Whose actions follow a clear and clearly stated set of policies.
Politicians with clearly stated policies? Who act for Australia rather than for themselves? I may as well wish for fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Extra thought: How should politicians interact with people in bushfire areas? Try copying the ABC reporters. The ABC is everywhere, interacting with people, offering sympathy, getting stories -- without being chased out of town.
How do they do it? I don't know. However it is, politicians could try to watch, listen and learn.
