The Prime Minister has sought to reassure Australians he understands community concerns about bushfires and smoke haze as the Federal Government faces criticism for its climate policies.

Scott Morrison acknowledged that climate change was a factor contributing to increasingly intense bushfire seasons.
But he ruled out strengthening Australia's emissions reduction target, despite New South Wales Government plans to take greater action.
"I know, because I'm a Sydneysider, how unusual it is to see that haze across my city, and I know how distressing that would be, particularly for young people who haven't seen that before," Mr Morrison said.
"So that is why I think it is important to have a sense of calm on these matters on the basis of information."
