Hundreds of thousands of Australians will be eligible to receive their fourth Covid booster from Monday as virus rates across the country surge
It’s Mostafa Rachwani with you this morning, coming to you from a bright and chilly Sydney. We begin today in Victoria, where Gippsland residents have been urged to monitor flooding levels, after facing heavy rainfall and damaging winds yesterday. Watch and act warnings were issued for communities near the Cann River, Buchan River, Bemm River, Genoa River and the Snowy River downstream of McKillops Bridge.
Evacuation orders remain in place in northern NSW, covering much of Lismore, and communities along the Richmond River including Bungawalbin, Woodburn, Broadwater, and parts of Coraki and New Italy. Thousands of people are still unable to return home, with recovery efforts ongoing amid recurring rain. The NSW coastline was battered by high waves and a strong swell across the weekend, with Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama facing up to 10m waves.
