Triple M presenter Lawrence Mooney says we don’t need a visit from Prince William and Kate Middleton following the devastating bushfires that have ravaged our country.
Mooney told news.com.au that the royal bushfire tour is a ploy by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to deflect from his poor leadership during Australia’s time of need.

“The nation is in a period of healing and reflecting on how things may have been done differently and we just don’t need them here.
“Australians know what the devastation of natural disaster is, we know how to pull together for each other and how to start again.
“We don’t need a couple of Brits to ask us some mundane questions and make some quaint observations.”
Mooney maintains that he is not a “royal hater”, rather wants to make sure we get our priorities right.
“I think, of the lot, Wills and Kate deport themselves beautifully and are the only viable royals.
“Harry and Meghan have quit while the Queen and Prince Philip are too old to travel.”
In February it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may head to Australia to embark on a bushfire recovery tour of affected coastal towns.
Wills and Kate have been quite vocal about their distress over the recent bushfires and have taken to social media on several occasions to discuss their concerns for Australians.
The visit, which will be Wills’ fifth time Down Under and the pair’s first since 2014, is expected to include a tour of bushfire-ravaged areas in New South Wales and Victoria.
Kensington Palace is yet to comment on any scheduled travel plans for William and Kate, and it’s not clear whether the royal couple would bring their children with them.
