Actors get a profile because they can act, not because they actually have any special knowledge. Being a celebrity doesn't make you smart, it just means you're a celebrity.

Teenagers................

Scientists, large pool there, many of them miss named. A paid academic researcher isn't the same as a scientist. I'm a fan of science, but I'm not someone who goes with the herd.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

For a minute there I thought you were against the fossil fuel funded herd but no, not that herd.

Carry on. Normal transmission restored.

The world has made the link between coal, climate change and bushfires and Scotty from Marketing has helped damage Australia’s international reputation

Yep, looks like Bette’s view of Scotty is not just her view alone but shared by many including firefighters, people who have lost their homes and many in the international community.

A number of senior Labor party figures publicly slammed the video, with former prime minister Kevin Rudd saying the promo showed Mr Morrison no longer deserved to be in The Lodge.

"For God’s sake! On a day we have catastrophic fire conditions, in the midst of a genuine national crisis, Morrison, the marketing guy, does what? He releases a Liberal Party ad! He is no longer fit to hold the high office of prime minister," Mr Rudd


Neil James from the Australian Defence Association said the advertisement politicised the defence force.

"The intention of the ad (video), exemplified by its nature & the speed of its production, is a clear breach of the non-partisanship convention," he said.

"It is also completely unnecessary given the prior departmental and ministerial media releases publicly explaining ADF support to rural fire services," he said.

Steve Bracks, the former Labor premier of Victoria, said the video was as low as you could get in politics.

"Wow. It is hard to go much lower than advertisements spruiking the Federal Governments response in the middle of the Nations bushfire crisis," Mr Bracks said

Morrison needs to resign. Incompetent and a f*ckup.

Don't be silly, also came from Neil James my conservative friend (and almost anyone else who isn't right-wing bat shit crazy)

To be fair I added Neil James while you posted.

Scotty from marketing has utterly f*cked up here big time. The donations to the bush-fires were going straight to the Liberal party till it was picked up by those wanting to donate.

Trying to make political capital out of the bush fires is disgraceful and you shouldn't be supporting that by Morrison. Incompetent & inept

Trying to make political capital out of the bushfires is open slather at the moment. It's disgraceful.

Morrison has successfully managed to tip a bucket of excrement on his own head at ever turn recently. The level of vitriol is undeserved but expected, that's not to say he hasn't been utterly tone deaf and screwed the pooch with how he's behaved.
