Tweed shire residents are being warned that tap water may not be safe to drink, and are urged to boil their tap water. Johnston said:

\n

There are still boil-water [alerts] for the Bilambil Heights, Terranora, and Banora Point. We’re moving to try to get those lifted as soon as possible but there has been impacted power outages and some infrastructure damage as the stormfront moved through, and it’s really important that residents know that there are still boil-water alerts on for some particular areas.

\n

We’ll keep up to date as quickly as we can as to whether it’s safe to access drinking water without boiling it. But at the moment, please just be careful. This is a complex situation. It’s rapidly evolving.

Moving away from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred for a moment, Albanese was asked about his discussions with the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, and the prospect of sending Australian troops to Ukraine.

\n

I had a very constructive discussion with the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, last night.

\n

We discussed three prime issues – the first was the prime minister expressed his solidarity with Australians at this difficult time in dealing with Alfred, and he offered any support that could be given by the UK. Secondly, he reaffirmed his commitment and our joint commitment to Aukus going forward, and we had a discussion about that.

\n

Thirdly, we did discuss the issue of Ukraine and the coalition of the willing, as he has put it, going forward. There will be a meeting of chiefs of defence and [representatives] of the chiefs of defence in Paris on Tuesday. Australia will send a senior representative to that meeting to discuss going forward. Both of our nations are very clear about our support for Ukraine, and it of course is too early – you can’t have peacekeeping forces without having peace.

\n

Moving forward, though, it is important that planning be put in place, and Australia will participate in that meeting on Tuesday.

Toowoomba was hit by wind gusts of nearly 100km/h overnight, the Queensland premier, David Crisafulli, told the ABC a short time ago.

There was definitely, overnight, some more of those wind gusts – including even inland to a place, a beautiful city called Toowoomba, where there were wind gusts of nearly 100km/h. It gives you an indication that the system has continued to pack a punch.

Whether that’s localised flooding through a creek or river flooding, there is that challenge there. But it’s a challenge that Queenslanders deal with, and we’ll continue to put that information out. And I have every faith that people will be able to handle that.

Brisbane’s suburban creeks have begun to spill over, after a night of heavy wind and rain in the city.

Saturday night brought far more severe weather than the previous one, when the city was subject to a tropical cyclone warning with Alfred nearing landfall.

Swollen waterways are common in Brisbane during heavy rain. Part of the city’s design is that tributaries of the Brisbane River – Breakfast/Enoggera Creek, Kedron Brook, Ithaca Creek, Oxley Creek and Norman Creek – act as floodways, providing a buffer to homes and buildings.

That works until it doesn’t – major floods have resulted when the creeks could no longer hold the volume of water sent into the system. In 2017 and 2022, flooding was the result of huge rainfall in a relatively short period.

This morning, Enoggera Creek on the north side had already spilled over, swallowing bridges and walkways.

This does happen regularly in heavy rain. But it also illustrates that parts of Brisbane are now seriously vulnerable if the rainfall continues or worsens.

We have been a couple of days now without power. We haven’t had power for 72 hours and when we don’t have power, we don’t have water either. Even though there’s a lot of water around, there’s no toilets or showers where we are. We have been cut off since Thursday morning. So the water is dropping but it is dropping slowly. We just hope that we don’t get this rain that looks like it’s hanging off the coast again.
