My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Before the horror 2019-20 bushfire season, Mr Morrison ignored warnings from experts and from former fire chiefs that Australia was unprepared for the dangers. Overnight, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned:
The intensity, frequency and duration of fire weather events are projected to increase throughout Australia …
I ask: will Mr Morrison ignore this warning too?
