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

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
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'.
