The Prime Minister's touched down in Sydney on the next leg of her Australian trip. Australia's PM has announced New Zealanders in New South Wales will be eligible for flood relief payments - which will roll out from tomorrow.

Jacinda Ardern says it's "emblematic of a step change" in the trans-Tasman relationship.

She was quick to compare the approach being taken by Albanese, to that under the former Australian PM, Scott Morrison.
