The NSW State Emergency Service has ordered residents in low-lying parts of North and South Lismore to evacuate as “life-threatening flash flooding” threatens the Northern Rivers region.
The state’s sodden residents have been told there is no end in sight to wet weather that has lingered for months.
Conservators in Sydney,Canberra,and Brisbane have begun the delicate process of drying out the priceless object and other works damaged in the Lismore floods.
Nine Lismore residents have dumped flood-damaged household items outside the Prime Minister’s Sydney residence.
Pilots paid by the government to be on standby for natural disasters have revealed they were kept grounded during the flood emergency.
It was not his first experience of the Hawkesbury. During his maiden voyage in the floods last year,he travelled more than 60 kilometres to wash up at Spencer,which became his namesake.
The most confounding quirk of the Morrison government is not that it’s wrong,but that it’s often right - but only after refusing to be for so long,and for no apparent reason.
The Prime Minister avoided public interactions during his highly anticipated visit to Lismore on Wednesday,despite dozens of people turning up to protest outside his press conference.
The rebuilding of Lismore is being likened to what faced Darwin after Cyclone Tracy.
Lismore’s mayor says the flood disaster will change the city forever and if it doesn’t change it won’t survive.
Life before the waters came and went. But the scars will last forever.
