Very bad bushfires but still bushfires. And they fall under the purview of the state and local governments not the federal government. You mean....she,ll be right mate!

A NSW bushfire will never cross into Victoria or Queensland. Which is why the Liberals have refused to expand national firefighting programs. Government rejected major air-tanker expansion https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/government-rejected-major-air-tanker-expansion-20200103-p53onl.html For the federal government to impose "national" programs, it would also entail imposing regulations on such things as scrub removal, and building in fire zones. Quite rightly, the states might oppose such federal intervention. They can't have it both ways. Either the federal government intervenes in local affairs, or it's a state responsibility.
