Here in North side Brisbane,had some flooding etc but my best wishes to all who may have found themselves in the worst affected areas and hope you all are well and safe.

The Southern media come up here expecting us to be all running around screaming like maniacs, we were well prepared for this one, (Debbie) like we are for most of them.

I thought Sunrises coverage was appalling, Kochie driving around with a camera man (for at least 5 minutes) trying to focus through rain soaked side window at trees that had suffered wind damaged and a cross to a guy interviewing a fish and chip shop owner who's storage space had been destroyed. His questions went on and he seemed to be just digging to get the poor bastard to break down on camera. appalling media.
