Media Statement from LNP Leader Deb Frecklington: Queensland storm damage

12th October 2018

‘We’re used to extreme weather in my patch, but this was something else.

‘The supercell hit the community in many different ways – crops have been written off, properties damaged and animals injured.

‘My first thoughts are for the safety of everyone in the community and I am sure we are all relieved no lives were lost.

‘People are picking themselves up and dusting themselves off, but the recovery will test us.

‘The coming days and weeks are going to be tough for a lot of people as a massive clean-up continues and farmers try to recover crops.

‘I urge everyone to look out for each other and we’ll get through this.’
