Watching channel 7 and Newman is speaking with a couple of Bargara residents at their house. So did he just bring words or some basic supplies and water for some immediate relief. Just words. Tells them to go to some centre and they'll get $900 no questions asked. Thing is it looked liked his vehicles were trashed and how far is this 'centre' anyway. I wonder if he'll offer a lift if they need it.

These idiots in power need to get their shit together. Apparently residents in parts of Bundaberg are being told to evacuate as the bridges in and out will be closed in about an hour. And then the idiot newsreader on 7 is telling people to stay put in their homes and keep off the roads. FFS. From what I've seen the roads are covered in debris anyway so how should they evacuate - on foot?

These idiots should have called in the army and transport vehicles by now to take them to a relief centre that is already pre-stocked with supplies and etc - they've had more than a few years to organise and prepare for situations like this and it seems it's only going to become more the 'norm' weather wise.
