Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the floods in Queensland and Victoria are a “reminder” of what both science and climate change have warned.
Mr Albanese fronted the media on the Gold Coast to announce another relief package for Queensland residents affected by floods over the Christmas period.
“All of this is a reminder that the science told us that climate change would mean there would be more extreme weather events,” he said.
“And they would be more intense.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing that play out with the number of events we are having to deal with right around Australia.”
