Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his wife Jenny paid a visit to the Tasmanian city of Devonport on Saturday to lay flowers outside a school where five children died in a bouncy castle accident. 

The Morrisons laid flowers outside Hillcrest Primary School to pay tribute to the children. Five children died and four others were in critical condition on Thursday after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted 10 meters into the air by a gust of wind, during an end of year school party.

Morrison announced the Federal Government would give 800,000 Australian dollars to the local community to help finance counselling and mental health support.
