MONIQUE WRIGHT, HOST: Good morning to you, Prime Minister. Thanks so much for being with us. Gosh, it's been a difficult time with the weather for lots of people. I know that you toured the area there yesterday. You've announced a $50 million support package to Queenslanders impacted by the recent wild weather - that's great. We know you're off to Victoria today to visit some of the areas there who have also been ravaged. Will you announce a similar package for Victorians?

MICHAEL ROWLAND, HOST: Somebody else who has seen firsthand the results of the floods and the cyclones in various parts of Queensland is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. He joins us now from Cairns. PM, very good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Michael.

ROWLAND: You have seen the devastation that Michael Rennie just referred to in and around the Gold Coast, similarly in Cairns. What help is the Federal Government providing with Queenslanders so hard-hit by these natural disasters?

JAYNE AZZOPARDI, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in the disaster zone, bringing $20 million in federal funding to help residents and councils recover, and he's also flagged that Victorians can expect similar treatment in days to come. And the PM joins us now from Cairns. Good morning to you, Prime Minister. This feels to us like the summer of disasters. From what you've seen in Queensland over the last twenty-four hours, how long will it take the state to recover?

DANICA DE GIORGIO, HOST: Prime Minister, thank you so much for joining us. You've been in Far north Queensland today, which was of course ravaged by floods over the last few weeks. Have you got an update on the recovery efforts?

The Albanese Government is supporting the recovery effort in Far North Queensland (FNQ), following ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.

At the request of the Queensland Government, Australian Defence Force personnel will be deployed to assist Queensland authorities in the Douglas, Cook and Wujal Wujal regions.

SPIDA EVERITT, HOST: A big name on the show right now.

SEAN FLANAGAN, HOST: Well, it is. It's a very long name, Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister, it is two words, of this country at a time where the Gold Coast is facing easily our biggest challenge in terms of clean ups after a storm in the hinterlands. Prime Minister, good morning and thank you very much for joining us.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks for joining us. It's good to be here with the Premier, Steven Miles, with my Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, my Minister, Murray Watt, the Queensland Treasurer, Cameron Dick, and Nikki Boyd, the state Minister for Fire and Disaster Recovery, and also the Mayor of the Gold Coast, Tom Tate, who will speak after the Premier.

• The Australian and Queensland Governments have announced new support measures to boost disaster recovery and resilience operations in South East Queensland.
• The exceptional circumstances assistance is jointly funded through Commonwealth-state Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and comes in the wake of some of the worst storms SEQ has ever experienced.
• Additional grants for small businesses, farmers and non-profit organisations also activated for SEQ.

The Albanese and Miles Governments are delivering further disaster assistance to help South East Q

DAVID ILIFFE, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you, David.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: This is an extraordinary legacy that has assisted more than 120,000 families that are dealing with breast cancer. The nurses provide that support so that no one feels as though they're alone during what can be a difficult time for cancer sufferers, but also for family members. Of course, all Australians will have been impacted directly or indirectly. We all know someone who has suffered from breast cancer.
