Letter to the Editor

It seems that the exaggerated cyclone Kirrily has enabled the the restoration of supply by Ergon to be drawn out to serve a state government agenda.

This tropical low peaked at around 90kmh at 992 hPa when it crossed the coast here.  The resulting electricity outages were beyond belief.  Whole areas such as a large part of Annadale were knocked out along with most of tsv and surrounds. These areas have underground services and the 11kV distribution was undamaged.  Strange.

Driving to work showed little damage.  Shallow rooted trees blown over a bit of a rarity.  A few branches and twigs lying around being the main evidence of a bit of a puff.  Very rare to see any powerline damage. 

Reader says Cyclone Kirrily did not have much puff was only able to blow over shallow rooted trees

Apparently Ergon stood their guys down for 12 hours.  No wind, no reason and a large fleet of service trucks parked up.

Anyway I thought you may like a head’s up on what is happening (or not as the case may be) here.

Kind regards

Editor: Queensland Labor wasted millions deploying just about every state government agency to the Townsville district for a tropical low that by usual cyclone severity rated quite low. As usual the Bureau of Meteorology based in Canberra had plenty of repetition while being egged on by ABC bulletins every 10 minutes.

Cairns News heard much of the radio beat ups by the ABC and the usual Brisbane hyper-media which in reality amounted to little damage by a tropical low in comparison to the usual real cyclones the north is accustomed to.

23 thought on “Townsville cyclone reporting overblown by ABC and MSM”
  1. IF ONLY WE HAD A NEWS MEDIA OVER HERE IN THE NORTH WEST OF WA LIKE YOU DO IN CAIRNS!!!!

    I write this from PT. HEDLAND where we get more than our fair share of CATEGORY 5 CYCLONES.
    For those who do not know, they are the REAL ONES.
    Not the beat up stuff we get these days on the ABC and all the pandering WOKE MEDIA that exaggerates the potential damage these events MAY cause.
    If you think I exaggerate just reflect on the endless messages we have to endure at the bottom of our TV screens these days which tell us about the epidemic of approaching fires and how if we live in such and such a place we need to do this and that or be engulfed.
    EVER HEARD ABOUT THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF?
    In the early hours of DECEMBER 28th just 13 months ago, we had up here a REAL CATEGORY 5 CYCLONE which totally destroyed the PARDOO ROADHOUSE on NATIONAL HIGHWAY 1, 140km north of here. It has NOT been rebuilt .
    So now the nearest fuel stop is 400km to the NORTH of PH at Sandfire which is 240 km South of Broome.
    BUT , the most devastating destruction was the collapse of the bridge over the Fitzroy River at Fitzroy Crossing on NATIONAL HIGHWAY 1, which shut down all road traffic to Darwin until a temporary crossing miraculously was completed just before last ANZAC DAY 2023.
    We need factual reporting ABOVE ALL ELSE if those of us (who CHOOSE to reside in such event prone areas) are going to continue to have faith in the reporting accuracy of our NEWS MEDIA.

  2. To Pete (author)
    Powerlink Corporation is connected to the distribution networks owned by Energex and Ergon Energy (part of the Energy Queensland Group).

    One might need to listen to GrahamHood (Bitchute) to get an idea of the plans Powerlink/Ergon have for Queensland.
    Might explain their ‘strange’ responses?
    If it doesn’t make sense, you have to wonder why.

  3. Having been through several cyclones I was severely underwhelmed by this flatus of bad weather. What I was horrified by was being notified by people in the real estate industry that Ergon was going to shut the power down in “anticipation” of a cyclone. While we had power, on thursday evening, we looked at Ergon’s power outage map that showed 75% of Townsville with the power turned off PRIOR to the “cyclone”. When the cyclone hit our (underground) power was gone and so was our Internet (satellites must have fallen from the sky) and our phone did not work in any way shape or form. After the “cyclone we found not even 1% of the wind damage that cyclone Yasi brought but we had similar outages. As Ergon did not turn the power back on for 5 days (only one power line down in a 50 square km area) millions of dollars of food was lost in our area. They normally take 2 hours to fix a fallen line and watching many Ergon workers sitting in cars (not having been ordered to either restore the single power line or flick the switch back on) we must ask: What power was off from the “natural disaster” and what power was turned off by order AND how much of the 600 Ergon workers brought in to assist were ordered to upgrade the network (as listed occurring on the Ergon site during this time frame) rather than get power put back on? What’s the saying “Never let a good natural disaster go to waste”.

  4. Queensland climate change disaster safety warning update !!!
    Beware there may be RAIN and PUDDLES, some of these PUDDLES may go right across the road, RAIN can be very wet, composed of sky water not approved by the TGA or Dept of Environment. Stay indoors and get your boosters.

  5. Oh BTW Isaac you might want to know, since you’re so fond of trivia: I DON’T for one second believe in evolution of species nor the ‘big bang’ theory, I am a staunch believer in God and CREATION.
    For all I know the planet is less than ten thousand years old…
    I have an open mind about it and it’s a topic I’m not interested in arguing about. It’s one of those arguments that goes on forever and which nobody can win.

  6. Isaac

    Ever heard of ‘speaking figuratively’ / rhetorically to make a point?
    I have no more idea than YOU do of how old the planet is.
    You’re engaging in childish nit picking.
    If you read my entire comment you might have realized I wasn’t arguing or even discussing the age of the planet, or how long Australia has been home to humans. I was talking about the UN’s evil climate change hoax and how they use hysterically propagated lies to convince the gullible to accept their dehumanizing policies and comply with any mandates or edicts based on the same lies.
    Looks like most readers here got it anyway.

  7. Watch the sunspots peaking about 2014 then fading out almost entirely by 2019
    These are the solar cycles driving the climate, el nino and all the rest of it
    The rest is arson, HAARP manipulations, badly designed drainage and so forth

  8. @Alan Vaughn – ROTFL! “Australia was formed about 4 billion years ago.” and uh, abos arrived here 65,000 years ago. Oh and the first man walked in Africa 2 million years ago. But we mustn’t gainsay the Holy Grail, which says NOTHING created EVERYTHING out of NOTHING, umm, ah I mean GRAVITY compressed MATTER into a sub-atomic particle which EXPLODED to become the UNIVERSE as we know it – a big bang kindly given to us by Jesuit Georges Lemaitre 1936, following on from the 1929 Peking Man fraud by Jesuit Teilhardt de Chardin.
    That’s it folks, always proclaim your religion and expect things to change.
    Hey, it’s appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement. Good luck.

  9. “World Meteorological Organisation” is a huge UN / NWO building in Geneva or nearby, they need to tell us everything what to think, do, report, plan for, etc, etc, the weather.
    If you want one type of climate model or another you just have to pay, anything else is disinformation.
    Stoopid ABC-TV will fall over itself to follow the dictates

  10. It is NOT mis or dis information in the Government Reports. It is called “Propa” “Ganda”

    Propaganda is the dissemination of information to influence public opinion. It can be done through mass media, symbols, or words. It has a goal or set of goals and may be overt or covert.

  11. Very interesting, according to Robert Deutsch there are dedicated people now using supposed sacred knowledge “tensor” harmonics technology successfully to mitigate their manipulated destructive ‘weather modifications’ agendas.
    Of course the useless BOM have no idea as they don’t have the nous to see what is being done with chemtrails, radar beaming etc., so this is why their forecasts are so often way off.

  12. Well the deluge in the South East around Brisbane reported for today did not happen – reportedly said to be the remnants of Kirrily which crossed the coast heading WEST.. The National map showed nothing from the north coming down this way today. We had a couple of light showers from the West, northing from the north.

    Just now on TV the deluge is forming overnight now and will be here tomorrow… really? Forming on its own or with some help?

    Fear mongering and mis or is it dis now – information…

  13. I also noticed recently that the BOM are now publishing terrifying ‘warnings’ about life threatening Heat Waves in the WARNINGS section of their website. I.e. Heatwave Warning (QLD). (Also read the ‘Safety Advice’ part after the maps at the bottom of the page that opens. It’s hilarious).
    They’re publishing these warnings everywhere, including FNQ and all other areas where it’s normally stinking hot and has been since Australia was formed about 4 billion years ago. But of course, the doom & gloom propagandists’ word the reports in such ways as to lead any gullible fool to believing that this is all new and has never happened before. According to the UN’s ‘expert’ climate crisis fearmongers: we have now progressed from the era of global warming to the new, life-threatening era of globalboiling!
    BTW: the local temperatures at the time these exaggerated to ridiculous warnings are published are just normal temperatures which anyone who lives in the BOM’s reported ‘danger zones’ would expect for the time of day and season…
    Just more hyperventilating about normal / expected weather phenomena with the intention to scare the gullible sheep into blind compliance and to prepare us for the UN’s planned dystopian new normal, where rolling climate change lockdowns (in 15 min SMART cities), will be enforced during summer, when according to them and their fake narratives and dehumanizing edicts based on the biggest LIE ever told; the world is now dangerously hot. Because WE SAY it is!
    Of course, the same shills insist that it NEVER used to be hot in summertime, until coal and/or gas fired power stations began generating large amounts of electric energy to power our industrialized (capitalist) civilization and people preferred petrol / diesel powered cars and trucks to horse drawn carriages and walking everywhere.
    ALL our fault you see so, we must PAY for our climate sins.

    To me this all begs the question:
    Do they really think we’re all that stupid?
    Hmmmm… Good question – probably, yes and perhaps they’re not entirely wrong either.

  14. The Australian government corporation, it’s corporatised States and unConstitutional Local Councils revolve totally around lies that are meant to create fear, taxes, expensive fines and penalties that are meant to create poverty and loss, and red tape that is designed to obscure their devious means of function, and of course a media plague that supports them by hiding their unlawful activities under cover of more lies.

  15. This sort of reporting is state wide, Brisbane was supposed to have had a “Torrential Weekend” What actually happened. Friday, cool and cloudy, no rain. Saturday, Hot and humid. Sunday, very slight misty rain. Yeah, Some great forecasting. Lying bunch of Agenda pushers.
