Australian firefighter's message to PM Scott Morrison

4/01/2020 "Are you from the media? Tell the prime minister to go and get f**ked from Nelligen. We really enjoy doing this s***, ****head!"

"I've lost seven houses already in Nelligen. I'm not going to lose any more, you f***head."

"Tell the PM to come and meet me. Paul Parker from Nelligen. Meet you any day, pal."

Scott Morrison’s response: I think he’s just a bit upset.

These men and women are true heroes. Feel so sorry that they are working to the point of collapsing.

That's a man who is exhausted out of his mind and is feeling helpless watching everything die.

As a Brit, i really respect the media for actually airing this, no other country’s news would do the same

[TheFreshman]

I am a Brit, but boy I feel proud of this Aussie legend.

[hairy-dairyman]

I love the fact he owned the statement. Name and all. No hiding behind social media.

[johnsonter]

Massive respect for all Australian emergency services.

Paul Parker. A bloody hero to us all. Everyone who gives a damn at least. Prayers to all of the aussies and especially their emergency services personnel working tirelessly

[tarabumface]

This man was fired for these comments. Disgraceful. He's a legend who said what everyone was thinking.

[jjd]

Aside from Paul. That lady looks like she’s at a fair age herself. Unbelievable. These hardworking, caring men and woman are the backbone of Australia

[SuperKrisco]

I'd love to see Smoko try to force this guy to shake his hand.

"We are wearing your problem". Fire fighter quotes that should be recognized more than Scomo's title.

[MichaelCasanovaMusic]

Good on him. His crew and all crews are national heroes. I can't imagine the feeling of losing 7 homes in your community. Obviously not his fault, but that's got to be heavy

[campfiresnlasguns]

Australia isnt defined by their government. She's defined by her people 🇦🇺

[JasonRyanWilson]

Not one firefighter or first responder in Australia should ever have to pay for another drink the rest of their lives. Prayers from Kentucky, USA.

Respect to our hard working fire fighter hero's ! Real life hero's !

[clairmcconchie]

I'd love to see that meeting Paul Parker is the hero Aussie deserves

[Dannyttttr]

I wish people would get this upset over the criminal behaviour in the banking sector

[RickSuaz]

I laughed how he ends up almost fainting but yet tells the Prime minister to get Fu%3@

[silentdudek]

I wish I could see badasses like Paul and crew in the news here. Love from the state of California, United States.
