And that’s where we’ll leave you today. Here’s what we learned:

• Prime minister Anthony Albanese says it was a “great honour” to meet King Charles in London, but says he hasn’t had cause to reconsider his views about the monarchy and its value to Australia.

• Albanese also said he looks forward to working with new British prime minister Liz Truss on addressing climate change and issues in the Pacific, after his first meeting with the new leader.

• The prime minister also shared new details of the national memorial service to Queen Elizabeth, which will be held this coming week as soon as he returns from London.

• Acting prime minister Richard Marles said Australia won’t follow some other countries and ban Russian tourists from entering the country, saying sanctions are focused on the Russian government, not the Russian people themselves.

• Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has promised his government will redevelop Maroondah hospital and rename it in honour of Queen Elizabeth II, as part of his pitch for re-election in November.

• While in NSW, Labor has announced a $150m commitment for another 500 paramedics in rural and regional areas in its first term, as it attempts to wrest power from the Coalition government for the first time in 12 years.

• Residents on Sydney’s northern beaches are pushing extend the Collaroy seawall to protect homes from coastal erosion and massive ocean swells.

• And Brendan Moon, the head of Queensland’s disaster recovery agency, has been appointed to oversee the newly created national equivalent, the National Emergency Management Agency.

Thanks for sticking with us today. Stay safe and dry this evening and we’ll be back with you on Monday morning.
