too right - NSW SES deals with 3,900 calls for help as wild weather, flooding hit Sydney
Sydney floods: residents brace for another day of devastating weather as NSW coast battered by rain

Some months back our Liberal (= right wing) Govt removed "paperwork" so developers can build on flood plains - cos we need lotsa' housing! Thousands more to live on flood plain on Sydney’s fringes if developments allowed to proceed

Too many flooodplains are currently covered with housing & with every flood, more land/houses are inundated.

My favourite pic from the March floods showed before & after views of a two-storey McDondalds with the golden arches outside on a pole taller than the building. Second pic shows most of the golden arches & a few tree tops peeking above a big brown river.
