When I visited Eugowra in late 2022, the town had been devastated by floodwaters.

Roads and bridges had been destroyed, homes had literally been moved hundreds of metres from where they had been built.

I met people who’d been rescued by helicopter and by boat and heard the tragic stories of others who had lost their lives.

When I was in Eugowra a few weeks ago, you could still see signs of the damage that had been done, as well as the rebuilding work underway. Above all, you could sense the spirit of a community determined to bounce back.

MURRAY JONES, HOST: You might remember in the last week or so, Sky News, one of their personalities, and looking at Sky News in general, always on attack against the Prime Minister and the government. But in the last week or so, Graham Richardson, I think it was, was a guest on Sky and he commented that the PM is still doing pretty well in the polls, mainly because he's such a likeable character. I was very surprised to hear that from Sky News and they actually put it to air.

KARL STEFANOVIC, HOST: Australia has struck a significant defence deal this morning, launching a new missile pact with the US and Japan to combat China's military threats. And the Prime Minister joins us now live from Brisbane. PM, good morning to you. You've struck a deal on missiles with Japan. How's that all going to work?

HOST: Anthony Albanese, our Prime Minister, will declare his support for Queensland's $62 billion energy and jobs plan, cementing the theme of the Federal Government's upcoming Budget. And we happen to have the man himself on the phone this morning. Good morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day. Good to be with you again. Beautiful day here in Brisbane, I've got to say.

HOST: Isn’t it stunning?

HOST: It's always beautiful here, Prime Minister.

LISA MILLAR, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is set to announce a plan to funnel taxpayer-funded incentives towards advanced manufacturing and clean energy projects, warning Australia risks being left behind. It's a major speech in Brisbane today that he's going to be delivering. He's going to make the case for a new law called the Future Made in Australia Act, which he argues will attract investment in critical industries. Let's go straight to the man himself. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, in Brisbane. Good morning to you, PM. How are you going?

NATALIE BARR, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me now. Good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Nat.

BARR: We know you're saying that nothing has changed with your policy. Peter Dutton says this is the most reckless act of a Foreign Minister in 20 years. Jewish groups are furious. They say, ‘We've got a war. This will reward Hamas’. Was it ill-timed, these statements?

KATHERINE FEENEY, HOST: Usually at this time on a Wednesday afternoon, you're joined by the one, the only, Dr. Karl. And it's status normal so far as you're here, Dr. Karl. Hello.

DR. KARL KRUSZELNICKI: Ahoy, Dr. Kat. Lovely to be with you again.

FEENEY: Wonderful to be with you again. But of course we have a special edition of this afternoon’s science chat with you and a very special guest. Dr. Karl, have you ever had a Prime Minister of Australia participate in your science talk back session?
