"If it were terrorists rather than fires responsible for six deaths, the
destruction of about 700 homes, and the devastation of 2.7 million
hectares, would Scott Morrison have tweeted a picture of himself at the
Gabba, cheerily promising terror-impacted communities that “our boys”
would give them “something to cheer for”?

Obviously not. We know from previous experience that even a relatively
minor security incident utterly reshapes the political landscape. A
terror attack on the scale of the current emergency would have
transformed Australian politics forever.

Yet that’s not what happened."
