they gave more to that big, black fattie to come over and spout her self-opinionated trash to the swooning sychophants waiting for her.
Considering she's already a billionaire, the offer to Queensland is obscene. Then again, any action by the Aussie government is usually obscene.
I suppose they couldn't afford any more as they were maxed out by pensions etc for former PMs and GGs.
Australia, the lucky country.

Runner ,first thing I EVER saw you put in print I agree with.
But lets look closer.
Costs for repairs to roads rail Schools in fact all government things state or federal will be paid for by both governments.
Already Australians have given over 5 million to the states fund to assist.
These seemingly feeble first donations of just 1 million are for instant help, just maybe much more will in fact be given even within a week.
So your point seems to be do not give to other country's?
An easy target, populist one too, but face to face with a child dieing of starvation?
I think most, not all, of us are better than that.
This event will cost us all a great deal, no one more than its direct victims, in my view Gillard and that lost lady from QLD could/should have sold this much better ,but will give much more.

True Pelican, the subsidies to farmers will continue from drought to flood, while their kids get edumacated in exclusive boarding schools at our expense.

But if you knew the state of Qld main roads, many of which are Commonwealth responsibilities,even prior to this mess, you might understand the contempt here in Qld with which 'government' in general is held.

Crean came, saw, and insulted recently when inspecting the main road into the coalseam gas and coal mine areas.

The road from Brisbane to C'ville is the Warrego Hwy.

This carries freight in and out of this emerging moneypit but Crean and others refuse to provide a decent road.

Equally, the Qld govt refuses to build a railway line and forces all freight onto the Warrego instead.

Someone else has commented on the 'privatised' QR earlier.

Well, 40% is stil owned by the State, so you can bet your boots 100% of the repairs will come from Qld taxpayers, no doubt consuming all the monies Blight 'stole' via 'privatisation'.

I am probably the most cynical person, in relation to political parties and politicians, that posts on OLO, but I have to be fair and put the record straight.

The fund the Qld Gov and the Feds each gave a million dollars to is a hardship fund run by the Red Cross to help those persons in dire need. One mining company has also contributed a million to it and I think the fund has currently 5 million dollars. The public can donate to this fund and the Govs simply kickstarted it. The Red Cross is the administrator.

There is little doubt that both the Qld and Fed Govs will contribute much more to schools, public buildings, roads and LG infastructure once the waters receed and assesment of the damage is done.

In the meantime there are people in need that will have access to help. This is how I understood it from an ABC interview with the Qld Premier last night.

>> Asia 3 November 2010:
Before leaving Jakarta, the Prime Minister announced Australia will give $500 million to build or upgrade 1,500 Islamic schools in Indonesia. <<

Do you know how much a house costs in an inner city suburb of Sydney, about a million?

There will of course be further funding but the insult is in the first response, disgusting but not surprising it shows the contempt that this government shows for those who on the face of it are not Labor supporters, country never supported Labor.

I immediately thought of Gillard’s comments on not funding the pensioners because they are too smart to vote for Labor. They hold most us in contempt except the young demographic that do not know their apex from their backside.

Shock! See I told you that the Australian Governments are backwards.....and like I said on another thread.....they think so little of you, your worth is less than a dog.

Home is where good governmenting should begin. "Oh but not in Australia....No...."that would be stupid....wouldn't it (rollies eyes )

More care is taken for out-siders (like Boat-people),that means what? More jobs that your own children don't get......over-crowding/lack infrastructure that cant support the numbers now.....poor people well......if poo was worth something....poor people would be born with-out butt-holes......and the lists goes on,on and on.

This is where the Greens have all the commonsense concerning these problems Australia faces today.

Care for our own first....and if we have a little left over, we will help where we can.

What a slap in the face.

You did vote them in:)
