Video of 'biblical' Australia floods aftermath as death toll up to 10

Australian Defence Force has started flights to deliver food and vital supplies to the northeastern area that's submerged by massive floods. More than 20 towns in Queensland have been cut off or deluged by heavy rains, with around 200,000 people affected. Airports and roads have been closed, and power supply cut off in many areas. Ten people have died so far, in what's being described as a 'biblical' flood.

if you build on a flood plain

@AzerChristians No mate they didn't have guns. But they did have weapons. Looks like you have a warped sense of reality and fact. The Aboriginals have had a fair bit of shit to deal with but making some fantasy remark about how they were completely peace loving and never fought before white invasion/settlement is total ignorance. The reality is that your nickname has christians in it. Obviously you haven't read the bible because there is next to know peace loving in it. Weirdo

@AzerChristians Bullshit, the aboriginal tribes were all fighting amongst themselves and the fact they couldnt unite made it alot easier for the english to fuck them over unlike in NZ.What makes you think aboriginals didnt suffer from the same things as all humans, greed,lust, hate etc? The fact is if the English didnt conquer Aus the dutch, French,spanish etc would have,its called progression and all countries are a mix of its invaders.Grow up and get the chip off your shoulder!

@doogiedog1234 Well, the reality 200+ years ago WAS THAT The aborigines were living in PEACE and HARMONY with all then.... but guess what? They didn't HAVE guns then ! You now benefit FROM the crimes of ur ENGLISH forefathers, so u r NOT in an unbiased position. As I said before, Australia WILL get the Karma and Justice IT deserves and don't tell me what the REALITY is NOW, as GOD can change YOUR reality in a few QUAKING seconds !! Then all the cement blocks will bury you alive, FAIR enough??

[doogiedog1234]

@AzerChristians Nooo..the english did that.. and it was because there jails were overflowing and needed some place to dump there criminals. We can't just sway places with the aboriginals. we live in reality..if we didnt live in reality then why not put modern ethics into english culture 200 years ago.. this is the way the world is now. so lets do the best we can to work with it. Aboriginals have private housing on the coast as well. and alot more will in the future due to free university!

@doogiedog1234 If the "government" was able to travel 7000+ miles with guns blazing and massacring to near extinction the aborigines, and mounted punitive petitions at will, but now the "government" is NOT able to relocate the benefactors of their "crimes" back 7000+ miles or even to the nearest deserts? well, why not trade places and let the aborigines tell you where to go? LOL Too precious to lose those "white" suburbs and "cultivated" lands? Don't worry, God will take care of the JUSTICE !

[doogiedog1234]

The government would not be able to afford buying the privatised and densely urbanised land back off the owners which live on the coasts. Thats where the major population lives? Its not an option.. What is an option is to tax the people of australia to ensure aboriginals get free university and welfare to ensure they can exceed in the society they live in today. which is exactly what the government does. give it a few decades and i think aboriginals will be really taking advantage of this.

[AzerChristians]

@doogiedog1234 Why not give the lands on the COASTS back to them ? Why keep them nearly all in the deserts and inhabitable lands? Well, as I said, the victors dictate the terms and stop pretending that meager benefits that English Australian government gives to the aborigines are "humanitarian", LOL, Let's trade places, and have YOU and YOUR children live in an inhumane way while I feed you with alcohol and free money so YOU become lazy & born alcoholic, kept in a desert ! THAT would be fair !!
