澳大利亚首相为假期道歉,消防员在大火中丧生。



  路透悉尼12月20日电-澳大利亚总理斯科特·莫里森(Scott Morrison)周五发表了罕见的公开道歉,并缩短了夏威夷假期,以回应公众日益高涨的愤怒情绪。此前,两名志愿消防员在横扫澳大利亚东海岸的丛林大火中丧生。

  澳大利亚几周来一直在三个州扑灭野火,大火摧毁了700多座房屋和近300万英亩(120万公顷)的灌木丛。

  两名消防员一夜之间死亡,他们的消防车在经过火灾前线时被一棵倒下的树击中,导致火灾死亡人数从10月初到8人。周四,又有6名消防员严重受伤。

  新南威尔士州(新南威尔士州)农村消防局局长谢恩·菲茨西蒙斯(ShaneFitzsimmons)在悉尼对记者说:“最糟糕的情况正在发生。”“这伤害了每个人的心。”

  在宣布两人死亡后不久,莫里森发表了一份声明,称他将尽快从夏威夷的一个家庭假日回来。最近几天,随着野火危机的加剧,这一旅行遭到了尖锐的批评。

  莫里森在声明中说:“我深感遗憾的是,在这段时间,我和家人一起休假,给受到严重火灾影响的澳大利亚人中的任何一个人造成了任何冒犯。”

  莫里森后来对2GB的电台说,这次旅行的计划是为了让他的小女儿们意外地取代原定在一月份休假的计划,因为他已经取消了去日本和印度的正式旅行。

  他回国之际,消防队员正准备迎接新南威尔士州的“灾难性”火灾危险--这是最严重的级别--据预测,高温和大风将在新南威尔士州发生,导致官员敦促人们如果居住在靠近灌木丛的地方,应尽早撤离家园。

  澳大利亚各地有200多起火灾,其中70起被列为不受控制的火灾,大部分发生在新南威尔士州。

  RFS副局长罗布·罗杰斯(Rob Rogers)在悉尼对记者说:“我们很有可能在明天失去家园,如果我们不这样做,那将是一个奇迹。”

  莫里森的保守的自由党-全国联合政府一直承受着持续的压力,要求它捍卫其气候变化政策,因为它淡化了今年森林火灾季节前所未有的提前到来和严重程度之间的联系。

  周四,数百名抗议者聚集在莫里森的悉尼住所外。一位抗议者穿着夏威夷衬衫,上面写着“斯科莫,你到底在哪?”引用领导人的昵称和著名的澳大利亚旅游国际广告。

  澳大利亚是世界上人均碳排放最大的国家之一,因为它依赖燃煤发电厂。它承诺到2030年将碳排放量从2005年的水平减少26%,但批评人士指责莫里森口头上支持这一承诺。

  今年6月,印度政府批准了印度阿达尼企业(Adani Enterprise)在昆士兰州新建一座煤矿,预计每年将生产800万至1000万吨动力煤。

  当莫里森周五上午在电台道歉时,反对党工党领袖安东尼·艾博年正在比尔宾农村火灾前线附近为消防员提供早餐。
