Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is speaking to reporters in Lismore, New South Wales, as residents have been cut off due to intense flooding in the region.

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has cautioned that the fallout from a vicious tropical storm over the weekend was “far from over.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been pressed on the government’s climate targets as Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches the Queensland-New South Wales coastline. Mr Albanese was briefed from Canberra’s National Situation Room on the current nature of the category two storm.

Tropical storm Alfred could cause significant flooding in eastern Australia despite the slowly moving storm no longer being a cyclone.

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment, a one-off payment of $1,000 for adults and $400 for children, will be available to individuals who have been significantly impacted by the disaster. This payment is part of a broader support package jointly funded by state and federal governments.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has spoken to Sky News Australia in a wide-ranging interview about the “very serious situation” unfolding as residents prepare for the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Hundreds of thousands of people remain without power in Australia after a cyclone brought wild weather to the east coast. Communities in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales (NSW) were beginning the clean-up on Sunday after the storm caused widespread flooding and knocked down power lines and trees.
