Prime Minister Scott Morrison has emphasised that a national inquiry into the bushfire crisis will only go ahead if it has the support of state governments. He has also told Coalition MPs that it could take the form of a royal commission or a judicial inquiry. Meanwhile, some Liberal backbenchers contend that the Coalition will need to revise its climate change policy in the wake of the bushfire disaster. Morrison has defended the government’s record on climate change, stating that carbon emissions have fallen by 50 million tonnes a year on average since the Coalition took office in 2013.
