Cyclone Alfred impacts ahead of arrival

ABC  

Andy Park: Hello, welcome to The World Today. Stephanie Smail: It's the last thing weary residents across southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales want to hear, but Tropical Cyclone Alfred's arrival has been delayed again. Christie Johnson: As South East Queensland continues to wait for the worst of Cyclone Alfred's wind, rain and storm surges, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is warning people to stay alert. Well, the impacts of Cyclone Alfred continue to be felt across northern New South Wales, where around 19,000 people are being urged to evacuate and many more are on watch and act alert. Honorary Professor Fred Watson: But the leap from that to even putting tourists on something like the International Space Station, which is in orbit around the Earth, it's a much bigger deal.
