Paul I know you in your fantasy world will find it hard to believe, but nothing would make me vote LNP when they have adopted the ridiculous Net Zero garbage. In fact nothing could have made me vote LNP once they elected Turnbull. Any party that could have him as leader is not worth considering.

Hassy, we have something in common, we both didn't vote for Labor or the LNP. Like me, you must have voted Greens.

Indy, I didn't see the Priemer "inspecting" the end of a broom, or "pretending" to push a floor mop. AP was out there seeing first hand the impact of the floods, no broom no mop unlike Morrison with his grandstanding.

Why are those in marginal LNP electorates being paid $3000 by Morrison, while neighbours down the road just as badly impacted $1000. eg Lismore and Ballina.

Isn't it a matter of Coalition held areas vs Labor held ?
I would not at all be surprised if Labor is deliberately not co-operating so they can portray the picture they're portraying now ?
Don't forget that 95% of the bureaucrats manipulating the situation (funding/other Govt assistance) are Labor cronies !

With Morrison refusing to chip in unless he is given "grandstanding" rights, the Labor State government has come up with $771 million in flood relief for Queenslanders. We don't need Morrison inspecting brooms or declaring a national emergency a week after the event.

Do try to be honest occasionally Paul. Her ladyship & company have come up with a greadieos plan to spend a FEW hundred million of our money AGAIN on those flooded AGAIN, but only if the commonwealth pay half of it.

Of course the conniving lady refused Morrison's offer of a disaster deceleration which would have opened the floodgates of taxpayer money from the commonwealth, so she could later make this offer.

Actually I am probably wrong about who's scheme this is. I doubt the lady is smart enough no matter how much indoctrination she's had, to come up with such a scheme. That would come from the labor brains trust, the experts in false impressions, having absorbed all the Green tricks & lies very well.

Pity Pauline wasn't cunning enough to counter either machine, I wonder if Palmer might be smart enough to counter the propaganda. He at least is playing the buffoon less this time round. I wonder if it has all been a long term strategy he has been using?

God knows we don't have anything that looks like a party likely to do a useful job for the majority.

Hi Hassie,

Regarding the floods in Oz?

I recently spoke to an architect/town planner who's
spent many years in the US. He is amazed at how
our planners don't plan for future events - they
only throw money at maintenance after the events
like floods have happened. They're more interested
in clean-ups than in prevention.

He spoke about Greater Los Angeles Basin having seven
reservoirs , three huge flood control basins, many small lakes
concrete lined canals and the Los Angeles River which
was dug out and lined with concrete and in its lower
reaches is 100m wide and 60m deep.

In Louisiana the Mississippi River has built up banks of up to
6m high above ground level.

After so many decades of floods in Oz maybe we can learn
something about what to do and how to prepare for flooding?
