User blog:Callumthered/Queensland (Australia) Floods

Hello all.

As you may or may not know, there has been massive flooding all along the Eastern coast of Australia, effecting almost every town and city within about sixty ks of the coastline, which, in Australia, is where all of th big towns/cities are. In my city, Brisbane, many suburbs have been majoly inundated for the second time in just over two years.

What I want to know is whether or not any of you have heard about this disaster on your local news? Do American/British news channels care about the millions and millions of dollars worth of damage, the hundreds of thousands now homeless, and the millions without power?

The reason I ask, is because whenever there's a flood, hurricane or any knd of disaster in the US or Britain, we hear about it.
