Prime Minister Anthony Albanese toured damaged residential areas in Irpin on the outskirts of Kyiv on Sunday.Thousands have residents have been evacuated in parts of NSW after warnings were first issued on the weekend, with western Sydney the hardest area hit, while 23 local government areas have been declared natural-disaster zones.
“The catchments of course are full, and that means that even when the rains starts to ease, the danger will not ease for some period of days as floodwaters continue to rise,” he said, adding 20,000 homes were without power.

Had to pay tribute to US EU leaders, yes I will tow the party line I will not think for myself or my country
Lol what a pack of hypocrites. If it was ScoMo you would be into him big time
Should have thought of that when criticizing others not so long ago.
He wouldn't need to do so much country hopping if Scott Morrison hadn't fucked all Australia's non-UK/USA international relations.
No holiday? what has been achieved nothing. Visiting corupt Ukraine governement to hand out $100 million in arms. Visiting NATO an EU war alliance destroying UN world unity. Paris to mend what? we paid huge penalty case finished. Paris, Rome, Ukraine London trip with girlfriend.
How could Mr Albanese have known that these floods would occur since he left the country before they started? At least he hasn't been sunning himself on a beach drinking Mai Tais.He's been repairing the diplomatic damage arrogant Morrison caused.
Travel does not equal holiday. Explain why et al pretend these are the same. AlboMP does not have to defend working overseas.
Hawaii? Perspective from where you sit is an interesting odium. The idiocy of trooping around the world after being elected will become a text book no no for future leaders. Labor will be gone at next election.
Burning the fuel… wasn’t easy Albanese… picked on scomo not around.. right now you just avoiding winter..
Descending into the abyss ... keep going there soon you will be irrelevant, just another Murdoch rubbish rag.
There is a difference between being overseas for work when a national emergency happens and going on holiday during it. Just saying.
fmllolnews He's been in the job weeks - not months! And he's complaining about not having a day off yet!
He does have years of crap to clean up!
Exactly! Any goverment is not a 'one-man show'. How true! The Morrison haters just wanted to have one up on him.
Good on you PM Albanese. You’re doing a magnificent job
Has Albo taken a few days off to do a side trip yet, with his personal photographer, to do some tracing of his family tree? Or has he just been working? Australian journalism is a sad joke.
He is simply following the script to keep the Americans happy, donating stuff to Ukraine and taking pictures with Zelensky, parroting back the same lines as Biden. Soaring prices at home while declaring China a menace, again as Biden.
As expected, Australians last, the rest of the world first.
We don't need a foreign minister.....What is the purpose?
He criticised the previous PM for such? Amazing that he has a different attitude now!! Hypocrisy at its best.
This is such a non-story! Labor-hating Murdoch media makes up a story and the MSM lemmings follow… sort of like this: ‘The Age denies it is just another lazy newspaper.’ ‘Costello denies he is sinking once admired publication’…
Hey lefties....Albo's govt's not a 'one-person show' but ScoMo's was? Magical leftie replies please....
Why couldn't he and his minions give the same consideration to Morrison
What is there to defend?
Fucking hell Gay_Alcorn
The Age should not comment. Has great Journos such as KATIE HALFPENNY SORRY HALFBRAIN, RACIST. SERIOUSLY?
Has AlboMP been on holiday in Hawaii or exploring his family history in Cornwall? Didn't think so. Looks like he was progressing important foreigh relations auspol
The press should not publish this level of stupidity. It is only hours since it was declared a disaster. It is an example of why the press are perceived as working for the Liberals are are poor at actual journalism.
Also, just for the sheer fun of answering inane questions, I wish he'd said 'Mate, I don't hold a mop.' AlboMP
He wasn't on an overseas holiday FFS! Honestly FFS.
Hmmm, shoe's on the other foot, getting a bit hot in the kitchen ?
Ya spending tax payers money bull shiting how Australia will stand with nato Australia would have the worst defence fore in the western world stones spears boomerangs and a lot of well trained kangaroos 🆘🤡
Apparently floods dont cause as much damage as bushfires. You could wait to crucify Morrison who was legitimately on annual leave. More labour propaganda from the media arm of the Labour Party
What a LYING HYPOCRITE !!! Albo has been more interested GRAND STANDING AROUND THE WORLD THAN AUSTRALIA AirbusAlbo WhereisAlbo auspol
He really doesn’t need to defend his role as Australian PM at these overseas events. The Age needs to defend its lack of journalist value.
more dross and drivel from the age. Why would this even be a line of questioning?
You missed 2 words “Albanese also faced questions about balancing his .. duties, in light of his criticism of … Scott Morrison for developing a reputation for being missing in action, including during the bushfires when Morrison was ON HOLIDAY in Hawaii”
Let's play.....where's Peter Dutton?
🤣🤣🤣
Chris_Murray48 The only people making a song and dance about this is the media.
Didnt need to defend it. It wasn't Hawaii with his mates. It was a trip to fix the stuff ups of the previous PM and Marissa Payne.
There wasn’t a flood when he left
It’s not a holiday. That’s the job of a Prime Minister especially a new PM. Stop perpetuating sooky RW Liberal Costello nonsense.
Albo takes off a fair bit.
He is being criticised for the wrong thing. What has he done, for all we know, to get Julian Assange free.
He shouldn’t respond to journalists trying to make a point rather than serving their readers.
What a disgrace The Age and the Australian media are.
His government is not a one person show. There are many capable people in his government. He has no need to do it all himself nor hide any of his colleagues from the media.
9fax still providing oxygen for Uncle Pete's cheerleading.
What a headline. Why are you even buying into this?
Yeah, so did ScoMo, but you drilled him in the end you little Weasel🥴🥴 So what’s next for Airbus Albo🤔🤔
That’s right you went to Ukraine and pledged 100 million for them while our people are living in the streets and the pensioners can’t make ends meet
Bullshit conflict framing, as usual. There's a reason you're going down the gurgler...
Says Albo from Selfie 🤳
Oh and I don’t think he was having a day off in the war zone either …
That is the difference between this government and the last, the team behind the PM is highly talented and they don't need a leader micro-managing them or on every issue that arises.
The previous government was a one person ad
Absolutely right
If your issue with the standards being applied vary depending on who they're being applied to Then it's not about the standards
What a hopeless beat-up. Are journos (or whatever Phil Coorey is) really comparing the PM visiting a war-torn ally to offer support, to a previous PM going on holidays to Hawaii during the bushfires? Phil’s credibility is receding faster than his hairline.
Albo is not a one man show, he is a team player to get the jobs done.
do better media - not a worthy attack at all.
If this was Scomo he would be crucified by the left, but no, he is applauded and cheered.
And he took his bimbo for some shopping in Paris
This should not be a story any more than the leaders of a nation or a company should have to defend themselves for doing their job
AlboMP is waking up to realities of being in government. It’s a lot different to sniping from the sidelines
But Scomo was!
Getting grumpy is he needs a day off we’ll stay home instead of traveling
Yeah yeah, blah blah , lazy pm
One of those trips was organised by Morrison, who thought he’d be swanning off the day after he win the election. Oops.
Could not be a bigger false equivalence than comparing Albo who was reset critical international relations and visited Ukraine and Morrison secretly holidaying in Hawaii
These attacks on our Prime Minister are juvenile, do they not realise that just because he isn't actually IN Australia that his well organised team on the ground are working & in daily contact with him electronically ? Not very bright are they. Labor, TEAM players working hard.
😂🤣. So what? It’s your job buddy boy. The points must be getting low by now?
The Coalition & their cheersquad media tried to do the same thing with 'Kevin 747'. Remember? Lame & predictable
Bull he should of come home earlier
What a load of typical crap from the age. He was working. Fixing the international stage that ScoMo and his ilk screwed. He wasn’t on holidays in Hawaii 🤦♂️
He shouldn’t have to defend doing his Prime-ministerial job Had ScottMorrisonMP done his he’d still have one 😒 auspoI
He shouldn't have to defend himself. Unlike the odious grifter who preceded him, AlboMP is working and not pissing off to Hawaii holding his hose!
Oh! Has he just returned from Hawaii?
Asleep at the wheel this government
