Queensland

ABC reporter Will Murray and another bystander swam into floodwaters north of Brisbane to rescue a driver from his sinking four-wheel-drive as heavy rain inundated southeast Queensland. Flooding also submerged a Moreton Bay homeless camp, prompting calls for safe, dry emergency shelter for residents.

Good on the reporter and bystander for pulling that driver out before it was too late. The homeless camp flooding shows we need better shelter options ready before the next downpour.
