They do not have one. What they want to do is put in a pump. But we know that the pump is only ever going to fail on Good Friday or Christmas Eve. That is the only time that pumps like that fail. The Palm Island Council has repeatedly asked them to come in and raise the levels of these buildings but they will not do it, so these houses are empty. The other problem with the housing is that there is no local employment or engagement at any level. There are registered builders on Palm Island, there are registered plumbers and electricians and labourers.
