Years ago Scott Morrison's advertising campaign to attract tourists to Australia begged, 'Where the bloody Hell are you?'.

After Morrison's latest secret holiday was uncovered by Australians who saw him in Hawaii we now know that as PM he's actually abandoned taking holidays in Australia. Although the matter's top secret [for national security reasons of course] speculation is that he's into scuba diving [well, the GBR is stuffed after all] and the surfing championships.

It appears the last straw for Morrison was Sydney's bushfire smoke, apparently offending his sense of entitlement as he slummed it out at Kirribilli House with his family - fair dinkum, who could put up with teenage girls protesting his Colonial Era response to climate change while slumming it at Kirribilli House?

Given Morrison's abject failure to explain to us what the Prime Minister of Australia could do as Australia burns and runs out of water it's time we provided some suggestions:

1. PLAN - develop a fair dinkum plan to address the unprecedented heating and drying of at least Australia, the risk to lives and property caused by poorly planned urban sprawl and traffic congestion resulting from grossly inadequate infrastructure investment.
2. DO - things that address the PLAN and including the provision of support and relief for the thousands of volunteer emergency service workers struggling to make ends meet [eg. prorate emergency cash grants to otherwise unpaid volunteers, likewise to local government authorities and businesses putting their shoulders to the wheel]
3. STUDY - why the fires and the drought have been oh so severe, why placing the lives of thousands of fire-fighters at risk for months has NOT prevented the disasters and tragedies acting out before our very eyes? Use experts to improve the whole story from go to woe!
4. ACT - revisit reports such as those from Victoria's 2009 fires and from scientific research with a view to world best practice.

Morrison should cancel the orders for those unbelievably expensive useless helicopters, F35s and submarines and replace them with a large FLEET of super-size water-bombing aircraft able to respond quickly and strategically so that bushfires don't get out of control and rage for months - that should become a responsibility of our 'DEFENCE forces rather than pursuing religious crusades half a world away.

Before I add to the list above, do you have other suggestions?
