"A heatwave engulfing much of Australia pushed Melbourne’s mercury past 42C, as
authorities urged Victorians to stay indoors on Friday. The extreme heat is
forecast to descend on Sydney on Saturday.
Anthony Albanese met officials in Canberra for a briefing on the extreme
conditions and said these were “difficult times” for the country.
The prime minister urged people to follow advice from officials, when
instructed to evacuate properties in the path of a bushfire or advised not to
risk driving in flood waters.
“We hope for the best but we prepare for the worst,” he said."
