I'm happy to table the article that cites the four per cent figure after question time. In January Mr Morrison promised that relief would be immediate. Why did the government go five months without spending a single dollar from the $16 million announced in January for mental health support for emergency service workers? Why is this government constantly prioritising marketing and re-announcements over the needs of people affected by the bushfires?
