Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he will take a proposal to establish a royal commission into the bushfire disaster to Cabinet, while foreshadowing for the first time a potential change to the Coalition's climate policy.
More than 20 people have died and more than 2,000 homes have been destroyed by fires across much of the country.
Concerns have been raised about the preparedness of states and territories to deal with the threat of bushfires, and whether the Commonwealth was too slow to act in ways such as offering the support of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
"I think that is what would be necessary, and I will be taking a proposal through Cabinet to that end," the Prime Minister told Insiders host David Speers.
