A wonderful place
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has used a media conference on Kangaroo Island to urge people to holiday in bushfire-affected areas.
“Australia is open, Australia is still a wonderful place to come and bring your family and enjoy your holidays,” Mr Morrison said.
“Even here on Kangaroo Island, where a third of the island has obviously been decimated – two-thirds of it is open and ready for business,” he added.
“It’s important to keep the local economies vibrant at these times.”
