This really belongs in the "news that makes me angry" thread, but seeing we're talking about Queensland and the latest catastrophe to befall it, have to say that I was FURIOUS when Tony Abbott (the Opposition leader) said recently that if the Liberals were in power, there would be no tax/levy (whatever you want to call it) to assist Queensland with rebuilding after the floods. The tax for each individual of five dollars a week is only slightly more than the cost of a coffee which people who earn over $50, 000 can well afford. If this had not come up, he would have accused the current government of being callous and unfeeling and unAustralian. The hypocrisy of someone who claims to be a Christian makes me livid.
