Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred: ADF personnel injured after army vehicles collided | 9 News Australia

Its 2025 & the government, state or federal, have only just now given the money they need to fix the roads after the 2022 floods???!
The government has to do better.
Everywhere is the same, they're all on bloody good wages but cant get the money distributed to fix infrastructure??! Bull!!
The damage caused to our cars, from driving these pathetic, damaged roads is costing us all a fortune!!!
The cost of everything is through the roof… It would be nice to have our infrastructure fixed, swiftly and well… considering our taxes are used to pay for it all… PLUS THE WAGES OF THE BLUDGERS, HOLDING UP THE PROCESS!!

Not very well trained 😂😂

Roll Overs in Military Vehicles is "More" common than most realise. The Military, Gov & media conspire to never advise the public. Except in this case they had no choice in the matter.

I thought that following previous similar accidents the Army were not supposed to be transporting troops in the back of trucks. Whats going on?

Diversity hire drivers?

Stop!! Who made this weak cyclone, now ex-cyclone a beat up? It is the media.

The media as a whole are ridiculous! Embarrassing!
I live in the Philippines where we just had 6 cyclones this last 6 months. We had 4 in 3 weeks!! And they were not far away… and each was a Category 4!

This is minor to the devastation experienced by the committee. When there are such events and care has to be taken and effective training needs to be done, drivingt. I am surprised there is so much to-do about this and so much less for the plight people are going through, during this clip.

🤣🤣🤣 Keystone cops.

Yikes maybe we’re not ready for Ukraine Mr prime minister

I hope they recover quickly 🙏Love our troops 🙏

Embarrassing

The current ADF are a bunch of clowns.

How ridiculous and China knocking on the door to invade and they defeated by some wind and rain lol

Who was in charge ?

I thought this was a Benny Hill episode, cue the music.

We're low on numbers and the idiots we have are doing this, Great. Makes me feel secure with our defense force protecting everyone and everything I have ever loved

As an Aussie I'm bloody ashamed of this comment section. We've never had a threat that could actually invade us and those of us currently alive haven't been in an active warzone and it shows.

These things are not built for smooth bitumen roads. Why? Because a warzone isn't your commute to the CBD for the rat race. Many roads are covered in mines and other blockades, so this thing is entirely useless if not prepared to go offroad.

The military is not subject to the same quality of life that you enjoy working at Kmart. So shut up unless you actually know what you're talking about

The incompetence is embarrassing

How embarrassing

Well that road will be speed-reduced to 60k instead of being upgraded

its always a crash ffs,

Diversity hires? 😂

and you want to fight against Russia?

Its ok guys they were vaccinated 😂

just wondering how heavy those trucks are and how much inertia it would take to cause "several" flips

It is not a tropical cyclone. It is not in the tropics

7:27 welcome to Australia, the nanny state, the only place in the world where the cops can police where you swim…

Those Lids are legging it to the fat truck not the crash site!!

drift it to impress , typical, remember the adf is the last job you apply for when you're young and not so smart

Now it is called Ex Cyclone ? It still was a Cyclone. The Australian media built it up such a crescendo, when people were seeing it go from a 4 to a One. Even people from QLD and northern NSWs were saying the same thing but safe to be sorry. Even at force one, the wind and rain did so much damage. Now there is stll damage to come and a huge toll on people and children that have been through this. Watching the media hour after hour also would not have helped. Obviously, there was nothing going on around the whole world for close to two weeks !

thanks Labour not

Dear lord they desperate for headlines😂

If we had a better prime minister, we would never have had a cyclone.

This interview with Mayor is disgusting. He's more focused on local issues and diverted from condition of ADF personnel. Scrappy media coverage, in my opinion.

Why is it an ex?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Disgusting that the Media release this accident affecting ADF staff before family members are advised.

They are ordinary drivers on an unknown road. However they were not paying appropriate attention for the conditions. That is the way accidents happen.
