No offence meant By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi has defended comments he made in his recent flood recovery message. In the message, featured in an advertise-

ment for SDRC last edition, Mayor Pennisi stated “while our region has just experienced a major flooding event which has had a devasting impact on our community, we have in some regards dodged a bigger bullet”. “A situation can always be worse and I am

grateful that I am dealing with a flood event as opposed to living in war-torn Ukraine”. He has further reiterated these sentiments since the publication of that message. When asked if, given two locals have died in floodwaters this year, he regretted this compari-

son, he stated that he did not know at the time of writing the message that someone had died. When reminded that one person died earlier this year in floodwaters, he said at the end of the day we did “dodge a bigger bullet”. Read more on page 4
