ffs another four months of nothing. gonna flood again and they'll act surprised

Alex Rivera2026-06-25T03:42:54.000Z

absolutely. they've been 'planning' for years

Jamie Fox2026-06-25T03:40:54.000Z

look i get it's complicated but people's homes are at risk. gotta get it right though i suppose

Luca Reid2026-06-25T03:50:54.000Z

pipes and pumps yeah that'll work 🙄 maybe just move the whole suburb inland

Casey Adams2026-06-25T04:09:54.000Z

nah mate moving inland costs money. easier to pump someone else's backyard

Drew Parker2026-06-25T04:07:54.000Z

my mate's place on Surrey St got wrecked last time. these councillors don't care cos they live on the hill

Alex Rivera2026-06-25T04:38:54.000Z

typical council. spend millions on consultants and then do nothing

Casey Adams2026-06-25T04:57:54.000Z

bet they're hoping we forget about it in four months. we won't

Casey Adams2026-06-25T05:06:54.000Z

they won't. just wait till next storm

Drew Parker2026-06-25T05:24:54.000Z

what a joke. just build the bloody seawall already

Drew Parker2026-06-25T05:36:54.000Z

i wish. premiums are through the roof now

Alex Rivera2026-06-25T06:03:54.000Z

seawall's not a silver bullet mate. but better than nothing
