Queensland Flood Cost
The Federal Govt will cover 75% of the total costs related to the Queensland floods. That's the role of the Federal Government, and it delivers. Meanwhile the Qld Govt keeps massively over estimating the cost, and calling out for donations; and it will collect as much money as it can from good donor-folk and control-release it so that it's not being 'ripped off' whereas in truth, and as usual, the Qld Govt is doing the ripping, and storing most away to support itself and a few friends later on. Money is power. The rain and the tears don't change a thing.
