Prime Minister Scott Morrison will cut a Hawaiian family holiday short, saying he "deeply regrets" any offence caused by his decision to take leave as bushfires burned across Australia.
He had received criticism from both the public and Labor politicians over his holiday, but following the deaths of two volunteer firefighters in New South Wales he announced he would return as soon as could be arranged.
His office told the ABC he would be flying into Sydney tomorrow.
"I deeply regret any offence caused to any of the many Australians affected by the terrible bushfires by my taking leave with family at this time," he said in a statement.
"I have been receiving regular updates on the bushfires disaster as well as the status of the search for and treatment of the victims of the White Island tragedy."
