Scott Morrison calls for a royal commission into Australia's bushfire crisis after thousands of protesters rallied for action on climate change

Scott Morrison has called for a royal commission into the bushfire crisis following worldwide protests demanding government action on climate change. 

Three women hold placards demanding action in a rally in Sydney on Friday.

Details of the inquiry would be put to the premiers and federal cabinet in coming weeks, the prime minister said on Sunday. 

'I think Australians have a very reasonable expectation that any commission of inquiry, royal commission, would need to cover the full gamut of issues.’

Facing criticism that federal authorities sat on their hands earlier in the bushfire season, Mr Morrison said his government had acted on all recommendations put to it.
