    Twitter has offered news before traditional media could on the Queensland floods. Queensland Police have used the service to provide crucial safety updates while also correcting information being reported by some television networks.

    The platform has also given an insight into how Australian's are judging the performances of their leaders.

    Queensland Premier Anna Bligh seems have to have inspired many, with tweeters noting her strength, knowledge and the way she has handled the unfolding tragedy.

    Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
