My question is to the Prime Minister. The 2022 Central West New South Wales floods saw extraordinary acts of courage and service across our communities. Eugowra was the scene of the biggest helicopter rescue in Australia's history. Despite this, the National Emergency Medal is still not available to emergency responders, volunteers and community workers, who performed with such distinction in that crisis. Yet those serving in disasters that have hit other parts of Australia are eligible. When will our community heroes get the recognition they deserve?
