AFP, SYDNEYAustralian Prime Minister Scott Morrison faced renewed criticism, after yesterday sharing bushfire-themed party campaign ads that opponents condemned as “disgusting” and a respected defense association said was “milking” the crisis. Facing sustained anger for his handling of the months-long crisis, Morrison sought to get on the front foot by announcing increased military assistance to beleaguered volunteer firefighters. Note this disgusting ad was personally authorised by this scum of a PM,” he tweeted. Take down this Liberal Party ad. “People in these situations have a mix of emotions,” Morrison said playing down the interactions and stressing he had been welcomed elsewhere.
