The prime minister has told under-fire MP Craig Kelly he is not impressed with medical advice being offered by the Liberal in a series of Facebook posts.

9News understands Scott Morrison had words with him during a private conversation today about the unofficial medical remedies pushed by Mr Kelly.

In an interview with 9News, the government backbencher said Mr Morrison's office had also raised concerns with him last week he was spreading misinformation online.

Mr Kelly denied that claim and did not back away from a Facebook post where he compared the wearing of masks by children to child abuse.

The MP, who survived a pre-selection battle in 2018 after an intervention by Mr Morrison, also maintained he was not convinced about the efficacy of vaccines.

"It was important that we have full transparency about what the potential adverse consequences are," Mr Kelly insisted, as he faced questions over his Facebook posts and whether or not he backed the public advice from the country's top doctors.

Labor has been publicly calling for the prime minister to publicly "pull him into line".

Shadow Health Minister Mark Butler labelled Mr Kelly a "dangerous menace, he's a threat to the COVID response of the nation and the PM should pull him into line and get him out of the way".

A $250,000 reward is on the table to help solve the disappearance and likely murder of a man more than two decades ago.

The last known sighting of Steven James Goldsmith was at the Commonwealth Bank ATM in the riverside suburb of New Farm, in Brisbane.

He was seen on CCTV taking money out on July 10, 2000.

Detectives believe he went missing either on or shortly after this date and was reported missing on July 29, 2000.

Police found Mr Goldsmith's car and work tools at his house on Sydney Street in New Farm, which was locked.

Inside the unit were his personal belongings including car keys, passport and diver's licence.

There was still a load of washing in the dryer.

Mr Goldsmith was working as an arborist subcontracted to Toowoomba City Council and other tree-lopping operators and would return to Brisbane on weekends.

He spent time in the Fortitude Valley and New Farm areas and was known to frequent bars, clubs and boarding houses and was experimenting with drugs.

Hiis disappearance has been subject to a thorough investigation and extensive inquiries in relation to possible sightings, however despite efforts that crossed two decades, the matter remains unsolved, Queensland Police said today.

The case is now subject to review by the Crime and Intelligence Command's Homicide Investigation Unit.

Homicide Detective Inspector Damien Hansen said police believe Ms Goldsmith was murdered around the time he disappeared and that there are people in the local community who know what happened.

"We encourage anyone who has information and for whatever reason has remained silent, to put that aside and come forward and speak with us," Detective Inspector Hansen said.

"Steven's disappearance was out of character. He was in regular contact with his family in England and he had upcoming plans in life he was looking forward to".

"We strongly believe there are people within the community with crucial information regarding this case. Steven's parents need and deserve to know what happened to their son."

At the time of his disappearance, Mr Goldsmith was 28.

He was around 175cm tall, spoke with an English accent, had red hair and freckles and a fair complexion.

He had several tattoos, including an eagle on his shoulder blade, and walked with a slight limp, as the result of a injury to his left leg from a workplace incident in 1997.

In 2007, Mr Goldsmith's disappearance was referred to the Coroner whose findings determined him to be dead.

Brisbane and parts of Queensland's southeast has copped a drenching, with powerful floodwaters flipping cars caught in the chaos.

There are warnings more severe weather could be on the way as skies are not expected to clear until the weekend.

Parts of the Sunshine Coast were hit with flash flooding and some areas recording over 60 millimetres of rain in under an hour.

The Bureau of Meteorology predicts more showers and possible thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow for the Greater Brisbane area, with wet weather likely persisting until the weekend.

Eagle Farm recorded 49mm and Banksia Point 65mm in one hour earlier today.

The deluge submerged roads with one car being flipped in Strathpine, north of Brisbane, and motorists warned to expect delays as floodwaters cleared.

The Royal Automobile Club Queensland said water covered the Bruce Highway at Griffin and on Anzac Avenue in Rothwell.

Meteorologists say the weather system was caused by a convergent band, where two air masses collided above the area.

"There is a lot of moisture over south-east Queensland that is leading to heavy rainfall while there is a convergence of winds from two systems," Weatherzone's Craig McIntosh said.

Further south in NSW, a stream of tropical moisture interacting with a cold front and low pressure trough produced a broad band of rain and storms over the northern part of the state last night and into this morning.

Underneath a blanket of thick clouds, rain affected almost every district in the state.

At one stage, a long line of thunderstorms was stretching between the Victorian and Queensland borders. These state-wide storms produced rainfall totals of 20mm to 40 mm from Bombala in the south to Brewarrina in the north.

Mr McIntosh said further storms are expected in coming days.

The storm knocked out power to about 2000 homes in south-east Queensland this morning.

The area around Albany Creek just north of Brisbane was worst hit with about 1500 homes and businesses losing power.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect eastern and northern NSW tomorrow, with drier weather returning to the west.

However, the respite will be short-lived, with more heavy rain and severe thunderstorms likely to spread over the state between Thursday and Saturday.

Jetstar has apologised after a woman said she was left humiliated after being told to "cover up" onboard a flight from Gold Coast to Melbourne last night.

Instagram and OnlyFans model Isabelle Eleanore was wearing a black crop top and jeans when she was stopped as she boarded by a flight attendant, who believed her clothes were inappropriate for flying.

"She looked at the ticket and then looked up and said 'oh, do you have a jumper you can wear?' and then here's me thinking she must be concerned I'm going to get cold on the flight, it's going to be cold in Melbourne or something," Ms Eleanore told 9News.

"She kept going and she was like 'well, you can't fly with what you're wearing, you can't wear a bikini. And I'm like 'look – it's not a bikini, it's a top.'"

Speaking to 9News, Ms Eleanore said she felt "victimised and degraded" with the flight attendant calling the rest of the crew in search of more attire for her to wear.

She also asked Ms Eleanore's husband, Jeremy Szwarcbord, if he had clothes he could give his wife or if they had any spare in their carry-on luggage.

When the pair said they did not have other clothes, the flight attendant returned with a hi-vis vest for Ms Eleanore to wear.

Ms Eleanore then had to walk down the aisle to her seat, describing it as "embarrassing".

"She made us stand aside while she called the rest of the flight deck and the captains at the front looking for something to cover me up with so that I could fly," she said.

"She brought out a hi-vis vest for me to put on in front of everyone, and then I had to walk down to my seat wearing this hi-vis vest.

"I was humiliated, it was so embarrassing – everyone was looking.

"I didn't think I'd have to deal with something like that – it's 2021, I should be able to wear what I want to wear."

Ms Eleanore vented on Instagram about the ordeal and captured the flight attendant handing her the vest on video.

"Apparently my top is too small and I couldn't fly without 'covering up'," she posted.

"They forced me to put on hi-vis vest. Am I lost… is it 1921 not 2021?"

She agreed to wear the hi-vis vest out of fear she would be kicked off the plane if she refused.

"I was in shock at the time," she said.

"I didn't know how to deal with it and I didn't want to get kicked off the flight so I was like I'm just going to do what she says."

Ms Eleanore said she spoke to about eight other Jetstar staff prior to boarding the flight and not one of them mentioned her clothing was inappropriate.

The Jetstar website does not specify any dress requirements for flying, other than wearing "offensive material".

"Please refrain from wearing any clothing or carrying personal items that display words, images, symbols or slogans that may reasonably be deemed offensive (e.g. a t-shirt with slurs or swear words on it," the website states.

"Where this occurs, our crew will ask you to cover up the offensive material."

Mr Szwarcbord said his wife's clothing did not go against any rules or guidelines.

"I guess that was the most disheartening thing – the communication breakdown between the staff, their policies were incorrect and incomplete," he said.

Ms Eleanore does not believe her clothing was revealing, claiming if she was a man, she may have been treated differently.

A Jetstar spokesperson said they have apologised to Ms Eleanore over the incident.

"We've contacted Isabelle about her recent experience and have apologised for the way the situation was handled," they said.

"There was a misunderstanding of what our policy was, and we have reminded our crew of our dress requirements.

"While we do have basic dress requirements on our flights (ie. shoes), we do not have any policy regarding crop tops."
