Poor form by the BOM to try directing focus onto changing their official name in the middle of a disaster. Inside word is the organisation’s not running well as it did, or could - management not meshing happily with technical requirements.

Not sure why people are up in arms about this, tbh. Big deal if they want to be called something other than the current acronym. I mean, calling an organisation that forecasts some wild weather for this country the 'BoM' probably doesn't make a lot of sense. And apparently the change was put in place prior to the last election, so it's not like it's a new thing. And it's not like all of the resources going into forecasting and predicting the floods are suddenly going to be redirected to changing the name of the org. Excuse the very poor pun, but, storm in a teacup. (IMHO).

Sad to hear that there's been another fatality attributed today to the devastation hitting Victoria's north atm. My cousin lives in Shepparton, but is, thankfully, all ok.

Hope all of the AFF members up that part of the world are all ok, too.
