Morrison didn't 'act quickly enough' during bushfire crisis | Sky News AustraliaLabor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon says “no one” in Australia believes Prime Minister Scott Morrison “acted quickly enough” in response to the bushfire crisis. \n\nMr Morrison will look to change legal powers allowing prime ministers to have the ability to declare natural disasters and call on the Defense Force rather than waiting for the states to ask for assistance.\n\n“Now he is trying to blame a process that is not broken,” Mr Fitzgibbon told Sky News. \n\n“What’s implicit in what the prime minister is saying is he knows better than state leaders, well that’s a big call and again I think that’s just another distraction.\n\n“The events over the summer show the prime minister acted too late himself… he was very slow to act. \n\n“He downplayed the fires when people were appealing for more assistance for volunteer firefighters, he told the country they are happy and have the resources they need.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
