A sense of proportion

The government is imposing a "disaster levy" to help pay for the rebuilding of infrastructure that the QLD State Labor Government didn't insure. Their estimate is $5.6B, which should be put in proportion.

Rebuilding the flood affected parts of Australia's third largest city, and a number of major regional towns along the QLD coast is going to cost roughly a third of the price that this government paid for school halls and tuck shops.

Yup, the school halls policy has wasted the equivalent of 3 major natural disasters.
