Prime Minister Scott Morrison is concerned hundreds of millions of dollars in donations are not reaching communities in need, five weeks after a series of devastating bushfires.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is concerned that five weeks after a series of devastating bushfires, some towns are yet to receive their share of donations.
"I think it's very important that charities and state governments for that matter are reporting on how much money is going out the door and to where," Mr Morrison told Sydney radio 2GB on Thursday.'Bushfire brandalism': Artists hijack advertising space in Sydney and Melbourne to call for climate action
But Labor MP Susan Templeman, whose seat takes in the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury in NSW, said that money was not getting through to many people in her electorate. "They are looking for small amounts of assistance but they are being told they are not fire-affected enough."
