Since the shrill attacks on the flood levy by sections of the media, donations into our Flood Appeal collection tins have slowed to a trickle. This is unfortunate as the need for these funds has not diminished. Further, the funds are being used for purposes outside those funds allocated and to be allocated by state and federal governments.
While we will take our collection tins down tomorrow, we will continue to support the efforts of the Flood Appeals in other ways – such as engaging with community fund raising activities. However, even these appear to have slowed.
Thats a shame. We have heard many stories of family, friends and work colleagues of our customers who have been caught up in the floods.
