As I am sure most of Australia (if not, the world) is aware, there is a major flood crisis happening in Queensland. They had been inundated with weeks of rain which has led to some horrendous flooding. Apparently the death toll stands at 15. It is so very sad.
As expected, this is all over the news, and I believe rightly so. We should know important issues like this, we should feel some compassion and even grieve as a nation as this may just bring us a step closer together.
But what I don't understand is why some guy who has a brother who is known to have links to NSW underworld figures, is also getting way too much of a mention in the media. Do we really care that he was shot in the leg? Seriously buddy - hang with the wrong people and wrong things will eventually happen to you. It really is primary school stuff.
Perhaps the media is trying to distract us for a moment with something a little more lighthearted (if you can call someone being shot lighthearted?!) but it is just annoying.
Just my 2 cents.
