On Monday, Mr McCormack launched an attack against the "disgraceful, disgusting" behaviour of people who linked climate change to the bushfires in NSW and Queensland.

"We've had fires in Australia since time began, and what people need now is sympathy, understanding, help and shelter ... They don't need the ravings of some pure, enlightened and woke capital city greenies at this time," he told ABC.
