Queensland Fire and Emergency Servies Commissioner Greg Leach explained the death of a 62-year-old as a “tragic loss”. Steve Gollschewski, the Deputy Police Commissioner urged people not to leave home unless they absolutely had to in the middle of warnings of possible “dangerous and life-menacing” flash floods. He stated, “We do not want to lose any more people, so please, please if it is flooded, forget it.”
