Morning Richard, yes I have seen that doco as well, man needs to stop building back in these flood areas, there are many areas in Australia where they are building on known flood areas, and you think, wtf, and it wouldn't be so bad if they build on stilts or something that could take the occasional flooding, but they still insist on putting down a cement slap and building a flat house. And then they ***** when they can't get insurance
