Far north to cop another drenching as Townsville big wet continuesSwiftwater rescue crews have been brought into the Cassowary Coast in far north Queensland as the region prepares for possible flash flooding. Please please abcnews can you stop calling Townsville ‘far north’. It might sound exotic but is inaccurate. Far north is to the north of Townsville. Townsville=North Queensland It's no longer called a 'drenching'. The correct terminology is a 'Flannery'. Get your geography right - Townsville is North Queensland, not the Far North.

LNP expels north Queensland MP Jason CostiganThe LNP expels its north Queensland MP Jason Costigan. what a blow Wait.....didnt he deny the allegations I guess its just another person falling victim to the all-powerful female privilege So no police report, no charges, from 'the family of a woman' - that's hearsay BTW. Hardly due process - or any process for that matter. He'll likely join the ranks of Rush, MacLachlan having their names cleared & charges falling like flies, then sue their arses off.
