Qld fishermen need flood help: MP FISHING trawler operators devastated by ex-tropical cyclone Oswald need financial help, a federal MP says. The federal government has set aside $20 million to help 19,000 of Queensland's worst affected residents in Bundaberg. But Liberal National MP Paul Neville, whose Hinkler electorate includes the flood-damaged city of Bundaberg, says fishing trawler operators need financial help too. "Twenty-one of the 28 trawlers operate through one facility here that's been damaged, so the trickle down effect of not getting category D here in itself will be horrendous," he told the ABC on Monday. Category D hardship grants can be given if a minister considers the damage to be an exceptional circumstance, the Attorney-General's Department website says.
