A Labor premier sparked outrage over a one-word comment in their bushfire warning to Aussies… Anthony Albanese’s response has reignited their fury

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has sparked outrage after repeating Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan’s crude description of people defying a total fire ban.

As devastating bushfires continue to rage in the Grampians National Park in western Victoria, Mr Albanese held a press conference with Ms Allan on Sunday, where he endorsed a tweet she sent warning people not to light fires that are under a blanket ban.

“I saw a tweet, it should be said, from another prominent figure here to my right, who used the appropriate term ‘don’t be ad***head’,” Mr Albanese said as Ms Allan was heard laughing on his shoulder. .

“Help your fellow Victorians and fellow Australians. Common sense should apply here and shake your head because people are not heeding the warnings.”

Mr Albanese referred to a tweet sent by Ms Allan on Boxing Day.

“The message couldn’t be clearer: today is a day of total fire ban across Victoria,” Ms Allan wrote on X.

“Don’t be a publicity headline. No fires should be lit.”

A number of Aussies took issue with Ms Allan’s wording, with their anger reignited on social media platform X after Mr Albanese defended it.

Businessman and prominent Liberal member Matthew Camenzuli did not mince his words.

“This is disgusting,” he tweeted.

‘This man should be the Prime Minister of Australia. He is in no position to talk down to anyone. I would like to see mandatory IQ tests for parliamentarians.

“That includes his friend, the Victorian Prime Minister.”

“Shows how unclear he and his state premier really are,” one social media user replied.

“If they speak to us like that in public, I wonder what they refer to us behind closed doors?”

‘Language suitable for a Prime Minister and Prime Minister unsuitable for their office. Both are fools,” wrote another X user.

“The insufferable village idiot needs to take his own advice (‘Don’t be a billboard’),” said another commenter.

“When is this clown just going to go away?”

Some thought the term was appropriate.

“Saving lives is more important than worrying about ‘language’ here, brother,” one person wrote.

“I despise that guy, but I agree with him on this.”

Massive bushfires in Victoria continue to burn out of control, although cooler, stable conditions in the Grampians have allowed emergency services to begin initial impact assessments.

Bee At least three houses and nearly a dozen outbuildings have been destroyed by the massive fire.

Despite the cooler conditions, a Watch and Act notice was issued on Saturday evening for the area on the eastern side of the Grampians National Park from Moyston to Bornes Hill, including Mafeking, Watgania and Maroona.

A Watch and Act warning also remains in force for Halls Gap and Pomonal, while residents of Long Gully Road to College Road, east of Mount William, have been told it is not yet safe to return after an earlier evacuation order.

On Sunday, the fire had a circumference of more than 380 kilometers and burned more than 75,000 hectares

It is expected to continue burning into the new year due to dry conditions and difficult, mountainous terrain.

Emergency Management Commissioner Rick Nugent said the coming week would bring more favorable conditions for firefighters.

“The weather for the coming week looks relatively stable,” he said in a statement late Saturday afternoon.

“This will give us time to stabilize the fires and continue burning operations, and further support the community.”
