Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (09:37): I want to begin by just making some remarks to our friends in south-east Queensland who are facing a category 1, 2 or maybe 3 cyclone. We send our best wishes to all of those in Brisbane who may be impacted by storm surge or flooding and recognise the outstanding leadership of Premier David Crisafulli, whose government is preparing with the Brisbane City Council and other councils for what could be quite a significant event for our third largest metropolis. It is a shame the Premier played politics with what could be a serious natural disaster affecting our third largest city, but we should not be surprised at this from a petty and juvenile Premier whose taxpayer-funded dirt unit has got nothing else to do except find dirt on opposition MPs’ birthdays.
