In his most recent media appearance, the former prime minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, has been filmed putting out a blaze on the New South Wales south coast, as the bushfire crisis continues.
Mr Abbott has been a volunteer firefighter for almost 20 years and has been battling alongside other firefighters since September 2019.
In the video, he can be seen wearing a breathing device and an oxygen tank in 45C heat as he fought a fire that engulfed a home in Bendalong over the weekend.
Mr Abbott also completed three five-day deployments in northern NSW between September and November, along with others all over the state.
