‘You’re not welcome’: Australian PM Scott Morrison heckled by bushfire victims

Bushfire victims vented their anger on Australia’s prime minister when he visited the town of Cobargo on Thursday. Bushfires tore through the region on Monday night, killing a father and son. Residents complained that government assistance was lacking, and one asked: ‘What about the people who are dead now, Mr Prime Minister? What about the people who have nowhere to live?’

  2. If he went there to offer comfort!! All he FUCKEN well did was prove beyond refute!! Just how much the vast majority of people in the Entire country!! FN WELL HATE HIM!!! AND, that lovely, poor old, fire fighting worn out, firefighter!! WANTED ABSOLUTELY ZERO, TO DO WITH THE CT!!

  3. And that’s why he supports Israel, and it’s ok to be apartheid state because that is Scott Morrisons policies, they are apartheid like cause he differentiates different people

  4. I wish this could happen in india. P.m or any minister would visit and see the circumstances at ground level. I wish people here would have had such real freedom to show their anger with words. I wish public opinion would be strong . I wish leaders would be real servant for the people and have not considered themselves as their master or king.People would vote for development and not for the sake of caste or religion. I wish there would be such education so that people could know their rights here. But no..here it is not going to happen for hundreds of years. 😔😔😔😔

  5. This is the definition of freedom of speech and democracy. Try doing this in China, and that same night you'll disappear and be sent to a labour camp near the Mongolian border

  6. Is this a pm you want Australia a pm that is sexist towards women and pm that didn't even pit on rain gear to fight the Bush fires the same pm that comes in looking like a hero when it was the firefighters bravery and hard work that put the flames out vote out scott Morrison his the problem not the solution my vote goes to Anthony albanese next pm
