'A very serious situation': PM warns flooding will move to NSW
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has warned the Queensland flooding event is 'likely to move south' to New South Wales. 'The weather event that we're seeing here in Queensland is likely to move south, and we're already seeing that in northern New South Wales,' Mr Morrison said. 'And elements of this weather event are expected to return to parts of southern New South Wales as the week progresses. 'So, this is a serious natural weather event, and this is a serious natural flooding event that we're seeing impact everywhere from Bundaberg to the border � This is a very serious situation.' Mr Morrison said the Commonwealth would be providing a Disaster Recovery Allowance for affected local government areas, on top of a $1000 payment which has been activated for two local government areas, with more LGAs set to be included in coming days.
