That shit is really bad, I know many people affected by it. It's horrible. Odd enough, it's like an inland tsunami. 5 or 6 meter flash flood. First drought, now flash flooding.
It's tragic, yes.
But I haven't seen a single "Please donate" on the news at all and it's been on all day.
Litterely.
Might sound heartless but I've got bills/stuff to pay for.
Gas has even gone up now.
66 is also missing
needs more content btw.
10 dead.
A little boy died, it's 10 dead 78 missing.

I don't know what shut you lot are watching, channels 7,9 and 10 agree on 10 dead 78 missing.
They need to be included, it's disrespectful not to.
[editline]11th January 2011[/editline]
Other states could be behind, but all 3 major channels are saying that on Queensland tv
[QUOTE=Atokniro;27347342]10 dead.

I was waiting for how I met your mother to start whilst today tonight went on for 30 minutes longer, they were constantly repeating the same info over and over and also saying "9 dead 66 missing." etc.
Queensland has alot of floods, I don't know why the government has better preperations.

I guess they brang along the new channel 11 just in time then.
Really puts the scale of the flooding in perspective when you picture yourself sitting on your own roof with your feet dangling in the water.

I know, they're at least playing good shows now
[editline]11th January 2011[/editline]
I got sick of seeing tennis/cricket playing on most channels, or just really old shows

You must be behind, it was 9-72 when I went to work at 5, 10-78 at 8 when I got home.
It's probably worse now
What i really don't understand is that Australia is always helping towards any country with a natural disaster, whether close, or far...
But when something happens to us, we don't see anyone coming up to help us
:sigh:
I'd rather spend my money on something else
Back in 1999 in my hometown, we got flooded.
The local shire didn't do anything before hand when there was a huge debate if we'd flood or not (weeks straight of constant rain with river rising.)
Shire rejected claims and it flooded, we lost our old house and everything.
The only thing we got back from the government was a pillow and a stuffed rabbit.
Government wouldn't even help
I'd rather spend my money directly to a group of familys then these funding site things.

oo oo! I just read through the story.
She mentioned the telecentre (like she did in everything.)
My mother used to be the head manager of the telecentre, the comittee was lazy

I used to have my own small office with computer and shit.
Ahh the days of being young
[QUOTE=mr apple;27347662]I'm in melbourne, so I can't be behind[/QUOTE]
You must have been, it's the only way we got a different report
Donated $10 AUS, I hope it helps the unfortunate somehow.

i live in western brisbane dickhead
and even if they do reach here the plains and farms where the floods are reaching wont get here because western-southern brisbane is pretty hilly and the roads actually have a drainage system - only problem is it WILL overflow
plus, the death toll isnt gonna rise too much, as long as people stay put

Peoples houses are getting flooded on a day that could be an average summer day
