‘Big issue’ in Queensland now is getting aid to communities affected by flooding

Queensland Labor MP Michael Healy says the “big issue” in the state now is getting aid to communities who have been affected by the severe flooding from ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper. Mr Healy sat with Sky News Australia to give the latest updates on the situation in Far North Queensland. “So the immediate communities in Cairns, our northern beaches, have suffered significantly,” he said. “We’ve got about 300 people in various shelters throughout the city. “So Machans Beach, Holloways, right up to Port Douglas; there’s a lot of damage in Port Douglas – road infrastructure.”
