FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Residents are expected to be able to return to their homes in the flood-besieged northern Victorian town of Nathalia on Thursday.
The State Emergency Service has said it will lift an evacuation order, which has been in place in the town for several days, at 7am (AEDT) on Thursday.
Speaking from the town on Wednesday, Victorian Deputy Premier Peter Ryan declared that the battle to protect the town appeared won.
“It’s reasonable to say that in the absence of any extraordinary intervening event, Nathalia has been saved,” Mr Ryan said.
“I think the fight has been fought.
“The great wall of Nathalia has held and it’s a wonderful thing to think that, all things being equal now, the town should be safe.”
However, Mr Ryan said there were people in about 30 nearby towns such as Numurkah whose experience was not so rosy.
“While we celebrate the fact of Nathalia having apparently escaped, the reality is that there are many, many people of course that have been caught up in the nightmare of this,” he said.
Despite plans to lift Nathalia’s evacuation order, the SES warns that the threat is not yet over and residents should stay vigilant.
Most of the town’s 1400 residents had defied the evacuation notice, choosing to stay and defend their properties.
While water levels are receding slowly in the Broken Creek catchment, areas of flooding are expected to continue into next week.
