Stupid people living one metre above sea level in places like Hervey Bay want the taxpayer to bail them out when a king tide takes out their garden and pool. They should move of their own accord. Taxpayers should not fund their move given that they purchased cheap property and had a great time living by the sea, until the sea decided to take their house. The Sunny Coast went under water in 1974 so everyone who has purchased since knows full well that their land belongs to the sea. From Brisbane to Cairns, the coast is in peril. Gold Coast? New high rises require life rafts in case of cyclone, 1972 and 1974 is your reference point.
