‘You’re not welcome’: Australian PM Scott Morrison heckled by bushfire victims

Bushfire victims vented their anger on Australia’s prime minister when he visited the town of Cobargo on Thursday. Bushfires tore through the region on Monday night, killing a father and son. Residents complained that government assistance was lacking, and one asked: ‘What about the people who are dead now, Mr Prime Minister? What about the people who have nowhere to live?’
