Blaming the BOM for floods.

Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr, whose council scored a direct hit from Jasper, told The Australian the Bureau had a lack of local staff.

“If this is so record-breaking, how did no one know this was going to happen? We need to have forecasts closer to what is going on,” he lamented.

Nationals Senator for Victoria Bridget McKenzie said the finger-pointing from frustrated flood victims was unsurprising given the accounts from the ground.

“People were so surprised with the difference between the Bureau’s forecasts and the actual level of rainfall they’ve had,” she told the Today show on Tuesday morning.
