The Australia I grew up in was very different to the way it is now. And I grew up in the country. We called it the Deep North.
There have, of course, been further problems relating to immigrants and refugees.
But this problem was a problem about land and the fact that Australia simply could not accept, as a matter of fact and law, that there had been people here whose home it had been.
Which is, of course, too ridiculous. But that is how it was.It was a hugely wet spring, not the wet season at all, and there were floods everywhere. Now the wet season has come and it looks much drier.
I think we are moving out of the La Nina pattern and maybe we will move into an el nino pattern with drought.
We shall see.
