I was going to attempt to post something nice but something's been bugging me a lot lately.
With the fires happening in Victoria, Queensland has been ignored. Does anyone care that %62 of the state was flooded? Everyone is forking out money for the bush fires but hardly anything is being done about the floods. I think it's unfair of the media to focus entirely on Victoria and only give a few sentences about Queensland. Sure Victoria has been hit worse but still, there's all this fund raising but Queensland is getting nothing. You would think that with a damage bill of over $210million that the general public would care but it doesn't appear that way.
I feel sorry for the Queenslanders effected by the floods and yes I do know the damage in Victoria is much worse but it's really sad that the media have just left the floods behind so they can probably get more ratings. We live in a sad world.
