Will the Flood victims in E, Australia have the same problems the people of New Orleans had?
I mean like, they are all white. Will any of them be forced to wait in a refugee center for 5 days? ,Or will aid pour in from all over the rest of Australia, and the USA?

People in Rockhampton have been in refugee centres as you put it since before New Years. Quite longer than 5 days dont you think? As mentioned above our government has declined help from all but New Zealand as we will be able to handle the cleanup and restoration work ourselves. Your belief that Qld is "all white" shows your ignorance (and the quality of the US school system) as to the population of Australia.

The flood victims in australia is not like the flood in New, Orleans no comparison. They were over 1,000 people that drowned or starved to death, because no help came until it was too late. Some people believe that help was not available because of the race. This could have happened to anybody or any race. The act of nature in not man-made. I am sure the USA will help the people of Australia

No Australians will not have the same problems as New Orleans because helping each other is the way we always roll. It's got nothing to do with race and everything to do with our culture.

"I mean like, they are all white"
You do live is Australia don't you?
Then you very well know they are from every culture on the Planet.
Are you trying to say that if Brisbane was populated with Asians or Blacks the rest of Australia would just let them suffer?
We are not like that!

What's being 'white' got to do with anything...we had people of all colours,races and creeds in those tragic floods.
America has offered to help but the Australian Government politely declined as we already had all our services in place and ready to move.
There are thousands of people in crisis centres and they could be there for many months to come.

Well, they won't have to worry about gangs of armed psychos, unlike the residents of New Orleans. No doubt the gun idiots will still deny that gun control works, even though it clearly does.
