Queensland bushfires: Palaszczuk blasts Morrison government over land-clearing inquiry

Queensland premier says Coalition is 'blaming the trees' for the fires

Annastacia Palaszczuk has lashed out at the federal government after it announced an inquiry into land-clearing laws following the recent bushfires.

"If you want to know what caused those conditions, I'll give you an answer - it's called climate change," the Queensland premier told reporters. "It is only the LNP who could watch Queensland burn and then blame the trees."
