Yes the Government is providing aid and help to the flood victims. It is getting worse each day - yesterday there was a flash flood on a city inland - a huge wall of water hit without warning, washing away houses, cars, people - so far there have been 8 reported deaths, including children and this is expected to rise....so very sad.
Have friends and family live in this city area so am a little concerned today.
And in the west, there are huge bushfires raging.
