In a disappointing revelation for the Quiet Australians, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been unable to come up with a catchy marketing slogan that eases the suffering caused by the out-of-control climate fires.
The career marketing executive, turned second option for Liberal pre-selection of the 2007 election, turned Coalition Government Nightwatchman, appears to struggle in crisis mode.
This comes after two weeks of out-of-control bushfires ravage the Eastern Seaboard, destroying livelihoods in the already long-suffering drought-stricken rural areas.
However, aside from getting in front of cameras and hugging the odd crying pensioner who has lost everything, the closest Scott Morrison is actually getting to these bushfires is in his home electorate this morning, as smoke continues to blanket Sydney due to a bushfire in the city’s northwest.
According to the NSW Government’s figures, air quality has plummeted to “hazardous” levels in Sydney’s north-west.
After avoiding any conversations about climate change or even the RFS funding that may or may not have been stripped by his colleagues in the NSW Government, Scott Morrison has only made one media appearance in the last fortnight, in an effort to try out some new material.
“How Good’s A Bushfire!” said the Prime Minister, only to be met with radio silence from even the most Liberal-apologist journalists from NewsCorp and 2GB/4BC/3AW.
Morrison took a deep breath and tried again.
“Hey rain, where the bloody hell are ya!?” he shouted, before doing that smirk he does when berating journalists.
Once again being met with crickets, Morrison tried one last slogan.
“Bill Shorten Wants To Take Your Nest Egg With The Labor Death Tax And The Labor Retiree Tax And His Complex Tax Reform Policy That Removes Franking Credits From The Hands Of Multimillionaire Baby Boomers And That Is What Caused These Bushfires!”
