Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been criticised by one of his political opponents for putting his “reputation on the global stage” over the needs of New South Wales residents hit by the flood crisis.

Currently, an estimated number of 32,000 people in the state have been evacuated and thousands of homes deluged.
