It is hard to know how people can foram an opinion on some of this.

Take Keneally (*grin*). How can people outside the state form an opinion. And the people inside the state, may just have formed their opinion on stuff other than flood leadership.

And do all the participants have the same understanding of just what floods are.

It is interesting to see the way everyone is lining up with an opinion of the cost that have been incurred by the floods. There seems to be a lot of ambit claims being floated out there (sorr).

And then Andrew Rob praises Campbell Newman for not introducing a levy and instead paring back existing spending. Then the next story tells how Newman is going to try to get the Feds to pay for the ferries even though not on the face of it covered.

I always figured a special category of mud would fly at the poltical level.
