My question is to the Minister for Emergency Management and National Recovery and Resilience, Senator McKenzie. In her train-wreck interview with the Today show, the minister was asked five times what the threshold was for declaring a national emergency after the floods. Five times she was unable to answer. Can the minister now explain the threshold for declaring a national emergency?
