it s been a while now since australia officially reopened its borders to tourists and it s been so good to see so many people heading there. and today, we ll be looking back at some of my favourite travel show moments from the country i still call home. of course, australia is a vast country and we can t possibly attempt to cover the whole nation in just this one program but hopefully, we ll give you a flavour. one of my favourite stories saw me back in my home state of victoria way back in 2016, when i headed to phillip island to see the efforts that were being made to look after what were undoubtedly some of the cutest penguins i ve ever seen. it s a place that attracts millions of tourists every year and this year marks the 185th anniversary of a sea voyage that changed the world. it was december 1831 when charles darwin set off on the hms beagle to see sights that would lead to his radical theory of evolution. and a key moment came when he visited australia, when he was s

thanks to the presence of this, raac. a lightweight concrete used in the 50s, 60s and 70s but now often in a state of serious disrepair. it is a problem that has been known about for years. five years ago, a primary school building in kent collapsed, leading to wider concerns. good morning, sir. so the questions of many parents are now asking of government, why act only now, just days before the start of the new school year in england? we went through this exhaustive survey of 22,000 schools after the initial incident in 2018. then in the summer months, new information came to light that suggested that some of the buildings that had previously been classified as safe might not be. and so the education secretary acted immediately on that. the chancellor said the government would spend whatever it takes to keep children safe at school, although it is not clear what that means in the long term. labour is piling on the pressure, demanding action. first, i am calling on the govern
