A woman has shared an open letter to Scott Morrison following the news of his holiday amid Australia’s bushfires, offering some good-intentioned perspective and calling for him to do “more”.

The woman explained she understood how important family was and spending time with them was, which was why she was compelled to reach out to the prime minister.

“This is my Dad, he’s 71, you would like him a lot,” the woman said.

“He worked hard all his life and paid taxes. His unwavering integrity during his years as a tax accountant ensured many others paid their taxes too.”

About a year ago, following her father’s retirement, the woman’s parents were ready to take off for a holiday, but then the woman’s maternal grandmother, who was 95, had a fall, the woman said.

After the fall and the grandmother’s health deteriorating, the parents decided to become full-time carers.

“Six months later, after a valiant fight, Nana’s heart finally gave out and she died peacefully with Mum and Dad by her side,” the woman wrote.

It was a tough time for the woman’s mother, who was caring for her own mother at the time, after her husband had a major cardiac episode while he was clearing a fire trail with the Rural Fire Service, according to her Facebook post.

“We’re so grateful for the RFS training and equipment, Dad’s fellow yellows used the defibrillator to save his life,” the woman wrote.

The woman’s parents were just about to take that previously delayed holiday when her paternal grandmother took a fall.

“Once again they became full-time carers and looked after Grandma for three months in their home until they were able to find a place in a suitable care facility just down the road,” she said.

“With Grandma now well looked after, Mum and Dad could finally take some time out but then these fires started and they show no signs of stopping.”

The woman shared a photo of her dad alongside the letter showing him in a firefighter’s uniform, saying the photo was taken by her mother after he returned home from a night of fighting fires in Blackheath.

“He’s exhausted but still smiling,” the woman said of her father.

“Mum manages everything at home and is well prepared so that Dad can go out to protect other people’s homes. They are a team, a force to be reckoned with but they are tired.”

The woman’s letter ends with her urging the prime minister to step up his game now he is back in Australia.

“I am asking you please, now that you have had some time out with your family, please return revitalised and refreshed and DO something more,” she said.

“More resources, more empathy, more appreciation and support because while my Mum and Dad won’t get to take a holiday this year, they could really do with a break.”
