Flood Effects # 2


Rebuilding Queensland


They have brought heartache and loss, but the devastating Queensland floods have also created the opportunity to rebuild a much greener, energy efficient Queensland.
(Babs McHugh)


"For some of them, it may be that instead of rebuilding their house as it was before, they might need to build their home on a higher level and put it on stilts to protect them in future."
(Anna Bligh - Premier of Queensland)


"Sometime next week [they could be] out doing the heartbreaking business of cleaning and rescuing anything they can, but they may not be able to go back into their own homes for literally months."
(Anna Bligh - Premier of Queensland)


"Possessions lost, their homes caked in putrid mud.
(Paul Donoughue)
