NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance said locals in his fire-ravaged electorate of Bega gave Prime Minister Scott Morrison the unwelcomed reception he deserved.
One Cobargo resident called Mr Morrison an idiot, while someone else shouted that he would be getting no votes from the community.
"I'm only shaking your hand if you give more money to the RFS, so many people here have lost their homes. We need more help," she said during the Thursday visit, before Mr Morrison patted her on the back and walked away.
