Australia fires: The public ire falling on Australia's 'absent' PM

"You're an idiot, mate": Australian PM Scott Morrison heckled by bushfire victims"You won't be getting any votes down here buddy... you're out."

As Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison toured a bushfire-ravaged town on Thursday, he was loudly heckled by locals. The anger towards him in Cobargo, New South Wales, was palpable.

So many people have lost their homes."Image captionAfter a firefighter separately refused to shake his hand, Mr Morrison said to his aides:"Tell that fella I'm really sorry, I'm sure he's just tired." A local official responded:"No, no, he lost a house."
