Senator CHISHOLM (Queensland) (14:44): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, Senator Rushton. The royal commission into the 2019-20 bushfire season recommended developing a national aerial firefighting capability, warning: … the increasing duration of fire seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres, and the increasing duration and severity of fire seasons in Australia, will make it increasingly difficult to share aircraft domestically, and to acquire aviation services when we need them … The Morrison government dismissed this recommendation, claiming that the government is comfortable with current arrangements. Why?
