QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr GEE (Calare) (14:54): Prime Minister, on 14 November 2022, Eugowra and much of central western New South Wales were hit by devastating storms and floods. In Eugowra, two people tragically lost their lives, and it was the scene of the biggest helicopter rescue in Australia's history. For four long years, our community heroes have been locked out of receiving the National Emergency Medal, and the fight for recognition has gone all the way to King Charles.

Prime Minister, when can these extraordinary Australians start applying for their medals?
