A mural of Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Hawaiian garb with flames rising all around him has appeared on an inner-Sydney wall.
"Heading out to Hawaii when the country is literally on fire is probably not a really great move in terms of leadership. I think public sentiment around that is all pretty unified," Mr Marsh said.
"I painted it all last night, took about three hours, woke up 5am this morning and finished it this afternoon - in time for Santa." Mr Morrison touched down in Sydney on Saturday evening and returned to work on Sunday, admitting he may have erred in visiting Hawaii at that time.Mr Morrison said to the Australians he had upset by being away during the latest bushfire emergency: "I apologise for that."
At least 873 homes have been destroyed in NSW in the bushfire season to date, as well as almost 100 in South Australia and more than a dozen in Queensland. Mr Marsh said T-shirts and prints of the mural would be available for purchase in the coming days, with proceeds to go to the Rural Fire Service.
