It’s a better splash than that made by flood waters… Anthony Albanese and Premier Mark McGowan visited affected areas in the north of the state yesterday, with the PM bringing a “significant” financial aid package with him. Visiting people affected by the catastrophic flooding in the Kimberley, Albanese couldn’t put a figure on how much will be required but said the region needs a “massive infrastructure investment” to rebuild. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Ellie – the troublesome weather system that caused the flooding – has been moving over the Northern Territory and is now on its way to Queensland. It’s expected to dump huge amounts of rain and cause thunderstorms over large parts of that state. Ellie’s been everywhere in the past 3 weeks – and you can see its exact path here.
