“The community of the North Coast must be congratulated for its fantastic response to the storms up here,” says Ian Cohen.
“These have to be the worst localised storms I’ve seen in my 30 years on the north coast and the way people have responded has really been uplifting. “
“I would like to personally thank the emergency services people, the National Parks people, all the volunteers – it is an incredible effort that we all value.”
“The ABC radio’s reporting has been exemplary and a lifeline to many stranded and isolated people and I thank them for their professionalism and commitment.”
“Many people have experienced cuts to their power supply and are struggling under difficult conditions. I’ve had to undertake emergency repairs on my property and I can imagine many people are facing a lot more work to clean up and make their homes safe again.”
“Without taking away from the resourcefulness of the local people, I hope, after Nathan Rees’ visit today, that he will recognise that is incumbent on the State Government to assist with resources to clean up the area. “
“We will need prolonged assistance given the amount of damage to roads and infrastructure.”
