I do.
And I heard that interview because I think that was Damien Tiernan, WLR.
Maybe it was Alan.
Yeah.
But basically what he was referring to is there's a flood forecasting team, which is a completely separate team now in Metair.
They've been there for a number of years.
Okay.
So you have the weather forecasting team and you have a flood forecasting team.
And they have been producing forecasts, but they only shared with the local authorities.
They don't share with the public.
Now, I've raised this a few times over the last year or two because I spend a lot of time talking about flooding and the fact that we're not prepared for flooding and we're going to see more of it.
And the answer that I was given by MetErin was that it's basically not for public consumption and that it's given to local authorities and other state agencies.
However, I've spoken to people in local authorities who have told me in confidence that they would much rather we share publicly.
Because they feel that the onus has been put on the local authorities now to share a flood forecast.
And they believe the public expects the forecast to come from Metair, not the local authority.
Okay.
So there's two issues here.
One is how you communicate it, which is the issue that... The second issue is the
the data and how good it is.
Like, for example, I got a copy of one of these food forecasts and I shared it.
