Read that one of the councils (Shepparton?) had recommended that a levee be built years ago to protect against any future floods. The community voted against it multiple times, because it would destroy their views and landscapes. So not always govs fault.
But seriously, who saw this coming from years away? We came out of a decade long drought not long ago, so bad that at one stage we weren't even allowed to bucket wash our cars, and now this..... mother nature giving us a fair warning I think.
