Queensland recently experienced terrible flooding.
Many towns, cities and highways are sited on flood plains. Plainly, when it pours, floodplains tend to flood. They are floodplains. Floodplains fill with water after heavy rain. Heavy rain is not a statistical improbability.
Flood + plain = Floodplain
We really need to either move or mitigate. Clearly, throwing our hands in the air and saying 'It's a nightmare' isn't working.
Maybe Australia could completely cull foreign aid. Charity begins at home, beginning with the flood victims. Or is that too sensible to be politically correct?
