FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Premier Anna Bligh will tour the Lockyer Valley in southeast Queensland as a mark of respect for the victims and survivors of last summer’s disastrous floods.
The state government has declared January 10 a special holiday to enable Lockyer Valley residents to attend a series of memorial services in Gatton, Grantham and Murphys Creek.
Of the 35 people who died when more than 70 per cent of the state flooded last summer, 22 died in the state’s southeast. Three remain missing.
Hundreds of people gathered in Toowoomba’s town centre on the eve of the first anniversary of Queensland’s most deadly floods for the unveiling of a Stone of Hope memorial.
Children stood silently holding fistfuls of white balloons as local musicians implored Queenslanders to “remember January”.
Several young cheerleaders, who went to school with one of the flood victims, wiped away tears.
A short video message from Prime Minister Julia Gillard was played, before applause and whistles welcomed Ms Bligh to the stage.
Ms Bligh spoke of Toowoomba’s strong community spirit and recovery.
“As we gather here today I think we all know that it’s not the damage to property, to roads, to businesses, to farms that strikes a chord with all of us,” she said.
“It’s the human face of the floods that endures and captures our hearts; the heart-breaking loss of life; the fear that we all felt together as we were overwhelmed by the power of nature.
“Across Queensland we share your pain, we mourn your loss and we marvel at your bravery.”
Ms Bligh will visit Ipswich on Wednesday and Brisbane on Thursday.
