i dont believe the people in brisbane should continue to request funding from the local community as they were pre warned aproxametely 5 years ago and the politicians can lie about this as much as they like but when the cost comes down to it let some of the money we the tax payers are sending over seas come back home to pay for the damage
after all we are just as poor a country as the reast and the politicians decided in price rise not the local community
so lets see them get our money back home
and start producing a few products here in australia not send it home to the politicians home land

Interesting that we are, yet once again, asked to contribute to an unfortunate natural disaster. The Victorian bushfire communities have hardly seem one red cent of all the money Australians so generously donated. Now, the Queensland and Victorian floods victims are asking for our help. I don't mind helping when it's genuinely needed, but what are the insurance companies doing in honouring the policies taken out by those thousands affected? Exactly nothing! How will all the monies donated help those so badly affected by the floods? How will we ever know what amount of all the monies donated is actually distributed and to whom? The Victorian bushfire victimes are still waiting for some form of assistance from the monies donated to that cause. Nearly 2 years later!!. Something is not right, and we Australians should be informed what has happened to all the monies donated.
