Flood cleanup descends into political quarrelling
Major Brisbane landmarks decimated by the south-east Queensland floods are actually the centre of political quarrelling, with a minister accusing the council of ‘dithering’ and never fixing broken infrastructure.

Residents throughout a number of areas proceed to clean-up properties, eating places, and companies, whereas flood broken property stays in entrance yards and on streets.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey on Tuesday morning posted a photograph of Brisbane’s Riverside Drive Bikeway, saying it was now a “beach and mud pile after more than a week after the floods”.
He stated there had been “zero action” from Brisbane City Council.
“It’s actually dangerous,” Mr Bailey stated.
Earlier within the morning, Brisbane lord mayor Adrian Schrinner posted images and movies of Drift restaurant, which was destroyed through the floods and has beforehand suffered in depth flood harm, saying it was “time to end the decade-long Drift restaurant debacle”.
“Once a well-known floating restaurant, Drift was smashed during the 2011 floods and has sat in the Brisbane River ever since,” Cr Schrinner stated.
