The Bug took to the streets to seek the views of average Australians on how they think Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been handling the nation’s bushfire crisis.

 

 

 

Merde Okmeedya: 103, newsagent

I reckon the Prime Minister is doing a fantastic job, hampered only by all those left-wing media outlets and bleeding heart lefty journos and commentators who just want to parrot the words and lines of others who go on and on about climate change.

Peta Gleeson: 34, just your average housewife

I reckon the Prime Minister is doing a fantastic job, hampered only by all those left-wing media outlets and bleeding heart lefty journos and commentators who just want to parrot the words and lines of others who go on and on about climate change.

Kelly Craig: 56, not a government spokesperson

I reckon the Prime Minister is doing a fantastic job, hampered only by all those left-wing media outlets and bleeding heart lefty journos and commentators – especially in the UK – who just want to parrot the words and lines of others who go on and on about climate change.

Pam Cliver, 65 self-funded retiree:

The PM is doing a good job but there will be a big cost imposed on many communities when it comes to recovery and reconstruction. If only there were someone in our nation who could kick in, say, $60 million for such a good cause.

Alana Jones: 92, well-informed housewife

There’s far too many outrageous and, dare I say, inflammatory attacks on the PM. I think his critics should be put in a chaff bag and taken out to sea and dumped.

Hans Shayker, 51, marketing expert

The PM has just copped shit every day since he bravely and courageously returned from Hawaii and his holiday with his lovely wife and two gorgeous young daughters. I just wish people would understand that he’s not to blame when things go wrong because God is guiding his every move.
