Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

Well, Roses are red and Violets are blue.

Each appears to play for a different team, if the colour of their bumers means anything.

In Weipa Andoom is red and East Weipa is Blue, the Watchdog has been told.

What are we talking about I hear you ask.

Read on dear friends, and I do think of readers as friends, however I digress.

Rio's Andoom employees, we have been told, have to stay at their posts until the town goes into code Red in the time of impending cyclonic conditions.

Their workmates at East Weipa will be home safe with family at this stage, allowed to venture home when condition Blue is anounced.

It is safer to be at home or elsewhere taking shelter under condition Red, but if you want to make some money venture to the Mission Bridge with a camera and you might get the image of a lifetime as a Landcruiser is blown off the bridge.

Well done Rio,
Please tell us we have it wrong, or is production at Andoom more important than the safety of your employees?
