“Never seen anything like it”: Victoria’s flood disaster

Parts of NSW and Victoria are again under water as another big weather system heads for already sodden regions. Flood warnings are in place in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. Thousands of people living in the Victorian NSW border towns of Echuca and Moama are bracing for a second flood in a week as local rivers peak.

We spoke to Bianca Hall, senior reporter with The Age newspaper early this morning.

More than 700 flood rescues have been made since the disaster began, and thousands of people have been displaced. On this morning’s Briefing, we get the latest from the flooded town of Echuca.

Headlines:

    - Jurors deliberate Lehrmann case
    - Bureau of Meteorology rebrand cost $200,000+
    - Damning review into Covid response
    - Gov spy agency working with Medibank on cyber attack
