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

I believe they should get some help. Have you ever been through floods, fire or cyclones. If you have you know how heart wrenching it is. And every bit kindness from a stranger or friend helps and a little bit of funding to help the people who need it can go along way. The funding is only a band-aide. It doesn't fix every thing.
And for the money we pay in taxes who knows! Look at the bungle with BER program for schools. All the new roads. Well that is all I have to say.
