Hi iam802 :D , Queensland is very flat, like the Vietnamese delta region around HCM City. Floods have affected the sugar cane plantations and that's impacting Wilmar.

Initial estimate is that 1% would be shaved off the GDP.

We had the Orchard Road flood and NEA and PUB got badly lambasted. Looks like the Australians are really kind souls. I haven't read vitriol in the press blasting their state and federal officials.

Hi iam802 :D
Australian politicians, like the US, earn alot of lobbying fees. Look at the mining tax debacle. These politicians might draw low salaries but they get much 'kickbacks'.
