As communities on the flood ravaged east coast come to terms with the loss of homes and entire towns, PM Scott Morrison left his COVID isolation to visit the devastated community of Lismore. 

We spoke to Lismore councillor Elly Bird yesterday who told us the town was angry and tired – and the PM’s visit didn’t seem to help, with reports of locals protesting outside where he was due to hold a press conference. 

But there’s a lot we can’t see from his visit, because the media was barred from joining him on his tour of Lismore. 

Prime reporter Hannah Taylor joins us from flood ravaged NSW.
