Dear 'Prime Minister' @ScottMorrisonMP

I have been a daily follower of politics for 40 years and never have I seen an Australian prime minister who abandoned the country the way you have during the current bushfire crisis.

THREAD
@ScottMorrisonMP The crisis was predictable; indeed, you were warned about the possibilities. Here's what one of your own agencies knows based on science: hotspots.dea.ga.gov.au
@ScottMorrisonMP A true leader cares about what is happening.

A true leader makes sure they are fully across the possibilities, including likely tragedies.

A true leader is open and truthful about their plans.
@ScottMorrisonMP A true leader stays to help.

Shame on you.

How dare you escape to a lovely island paradise while this country burns. So many of us can't even breathe. So many have lost their homes and their livelihoods.
@ScottMorrisonMP Some have lost their lives while volunteering to protect others.

And all you could do was apologise for 'any offence'.
@ScottMorrisonMP This country - this failing country - deserves so much better than your vague language, your callous selfishness, your sheer disregard for what everyday people are experiencing.
@ScottMorrisonMP You say you're the PM for the 'quiet Australians'.

Here are some recent experiences of everyday folk:

- my 90-year-old father, who lives in a NSW country town, tells me how he watches embers land on him while he tries feeding the chooks
@ScottMorrisonMP - my 54-year-old brother sends me hourly text messages because for 2 weeks now a large fire has been burning on the edge of his farm and that there is no longer water in his dams
@ScottMorrisonMP - a friend and I catch up in a nearby town but our eyes water and we begin to cough due to the dreadful air quality; that night, a scientist says on TV that breathing NSW air at the moment 'is like smoking 60 cigarettes per day'.
@ScottMorrisonMP You @ScottMorrisonMP are really nothing more than a leader of one person: yourself.

Once again, shame on you.

Actually, FUCK YOU.
@ScottMorrisonMP Yours sincerely,

Nigel Featherstone
Goulburn NSW #Australia
