It's not politics to highlight incompetence, which is what we are doing. It has been 20 days since Mr Morrison announced that his government would provide flood victims in the electorate of Page with assistance payments of $3,000 each. Thousands of homes across South-East Queensland were also devastated, yet Mr Morrison has only provided Queensland flood victims with assistance payments of $1,000 each. Why does Mr Morrison think flood victims in New South Wales are worth more than three times as much as those in Queensland?
