My heart goes out to those in the flood affected areas, some have only just returned or are still yet to get back to homes affected by 2022 and they are getting whacked again.
I was chatting to a resident of one of the country towns expected to be hit again and he's furious, he told me the same group of people that protest against CO2 emissions and warn them about the effects of climate change also rolled up to actively protest against the building of a flood levy for their town after the 2011 floods, on environmental grounds, and many of the protestors now don't even live there but return to local debates from the city!
All the metro left greeny types achieve is to push marginal / regional groups towards the hard right, and it's not going to end well! If the people in regional cities abandon the land and it's supporting industries good luck to the greenies getting their vegan low carbon locally sourced mung beans, instead they'll be flown in via a United Airlines 767, from a bean farm in Sth America formerly known as the Amazon, and relabelled a Aussie Made because they are repackaged here by a China owned conglomerate that pay suburban dwellers insufficient wages to rent a house! In the interim the metro greenies go back to Prahran and sip an ethically sourced coffee, not a single sandbagging shovel to be found between the lot of them!
