Australia's Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has been heavily criticised after leaving the country to go on holiday.
Morrison's timing has caused controversy, as he left while bushfires in New South Wales (NSW) continue to burn.
Morrison, who recently classified the NSW wildfires as a 'national disaster' has reportedly flown to Hawaii.
The Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, which is a group made up of former fire chiefs, has been pushing the Government for more action on climate change.
They are now threatening to take matters into their own hands.
The group told 7News they want a national emergency summit to be held in March.
"I hope the Prime Minister will suddenly show some national leadership, but I don't see any suggestion that's going to happen," Former Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner Greg Mullins told AAP.
They plan to invite Morrison, Labor leader Anthony Albanese and Green lawmaker Richard Di Natale.
Despite, protests from The Emergency Leaders for Climate Action and on social media, Australia's Foreign Minister, Marise Payne, told reporters during a visit to New Zealand the Prime Minister is allowed to take a planned break with his family.
"Where the Prime Minister is, is a matter for his family.
I think anyone in an office of that nature is perfectly entitled to take a private family break."
This is Morrison's first overseas holiday since flying to Fiji after the federal election this year.
