Prime Minister fails to talk Quilpie rain history with clarity

A pathetic weak performance considering the staff and hangers on pollies have. The question about “climate change” should have been ridiculed. It took the station owner to push himself to the mic and state with clarity – “We’ve got 100 years of [rainfall] records,” Mr Tully says.
“What’s happened here, so far, still sits within those records.” Well said.
Checking the BoM Quilpie rain history from CDO I find the usual deterioration of data with increasing missing data post ~2000 so the following chart particularly post 2000 is a paste n patch of three sites, Quilpie Air Port from 1917, South Comongin from 1884 and Moble from 1941.
The last decent rain was 70 or 80mm in October 2017 and Quilpie AP has had 63.4mm so far this year – so I have run a Jan to Aug total down the full history from 1884 checking for lower Jan to Aug totals and there have been 6 years lower. 47mm in 1902 – 53.6 in 1915 – 34.9 in 1922 – 52.6 in 1927 – 50 in 1965 – 55 in 1972. I have added those Jan to Aug totals on the chart – for larger version.
