River Murray flood alert extends downstream as water rises take SES by surpriseSA's State Emergency Service says the volume of water along the River Murray has been 'a bit of a surprise' and is advising Mannum locals to ready themselves for further advice messages in the next 24 hours. How pathetic is ABC 24, News breakfast - the only feed cross to a 'journo' in Adelaide out the front of SES HQ. How different when Rowland,Millar,O'brien & co were being sent to locations in Vic/NSW. What's the matter they're all on leave & no one else avail? It's brilliant floodplains that haven't seen water in decades. To be fair most of the flooded properties are what they call shack's which are million dollar houses right on the river.

As the River Murray floods, nature flourishes — and the region is springing into lifeAustralia is a country of droughts and flooding rains — and that contrast is nowhere more starkly illustrated at the moment than SA's Riverland, where water is seeping into desiccated landscapes for the first time in decades. ...thanks to climate change! ABC 'Climate catastrophe means more flooding'. ABC 'floods are good'. FFS. Absolutely. Good stuff👍. Future bushfire fodder as well..but we won't talk about that

'It looks like it was hit by an earthquake': Sinkhole appears in regional road after floods and rainWimmera farmer Matt Rohde was so shocked by the depth of a canyon on a thoroughfare near his farm, he hopped in the trench.

Hogan slams Labor's 'Soviet-style' energy policyKevin Hogan has claimed the Albanese Government's 'Soviet-style' energy policy of capping the price of gas and coal will result in power shortages because some industries 'don’t trust the government anymore to make investments'. Hit profiteers in their pockets & they start calling you names! How many more days do we think the mock outrage will go on before another reason to be angry pops up? LNP and Sky hoping like hell that gas prices rise so they can say 'I told you so' whilst the rest of us finally see a government prepared to stand up to the resource bullies.
