Anthony Albanese’s colleagues have defended the Opposition Leader after he was criticised for travelling to Western Australia during the flooding crisis in his home state.
Mr Albanese made good on his promise to fly to WA as soon as its border opened, but this coincided with the unfolding disaster in NSW that saw people sandbagging homes near his Grayndler electorate in Sydney.
The widespread flooding has destroyed houses, killed five people and sparked evacuation warnings for about 500,000 of the state’s residents, including 300,000 people in the capital.
