I’d ask for proof but I’m pretty sure that’s another list I don’t need to be on

It's an old photo from the United States. It's not an actual post from QLD during this event.

I'm not talking about the photo, people are panic buying like lunatics in SE Syria and Northern NSW.

Its ****ed up because those people have been thru decades of floods and storms and didn't behave like this before. Panic buying rarely happened in Australia in the past and was usually associated with specific shortages.
In the past people would prepare for storms and floods in the week beforehand but wouldn't buy every ****en thing on the shelves.

The irony being I bet you're one of those people who complains about 'pushy vegans' or something.

Tbh there are tons of 'pushy' vegans.

Unfortunately in my experience, meat bros who get upset at my dietary choices seem far more common.

It’s wild mate, I can understand the panic up Lismore way but I’m based in Coffs and people are losing their minds.

So far we’ve had around 150mm of rain which is bugger all. Winds up to 80km/h which isn’t even that much. We’ve got evac orders in place for low lying areas yet the locals rivers aren’t even flowing brown (at this stage). Well below minor flood level. It’s like they are over compensating for the terrible response to previous flood/natural disaster events.

We’ve had panic buying and closed schools but the forecast isn’t anything close to being catastrophic.

Just doesn’t make sense to me.

I kind of get why some people in Lismore are spinning out. I have friends who lost everything in that 2022 flood (a few you or your mates might have pulled out in those tinnies.) There's alot of rain related PTSD in the area, which I get. It still sets me on edge a little bit and I always lived at the top of the catchment.

They've had over 200mm in parts of the Northern Rivers since this morning and people in town are prepared for something like 2017, which broke the levee. As you say, that's not much in terms of serious flooding but after last time I think people are pretty ****ed up. A few people died in 2022, more than the official toll.

LOL... during Clarko's (the win v Freo) second game we had 145 mm in the first half at Stoney Chute, so yeah 150 in a night is nothing.

But if the cyclone sits off the coast for a week and pumps 2-300mm a day then...

As long as they keep to themselves and not push their hypocritical propaganda on others…ie - ‘you can’t eat meat’

Otherwise we’re good.

So in State Political news, can the Liberal party actually return to being “the opposition party” in WA?

Also, Anthony Green’s last state election
