GOODNA flood victim Frank Beaumont remains hesitant on the prospect he might soon be compensated for the trauma despite a landmark settlement by two defendants on Friday. Speaking with the Queensland Times, he said he was cautiously optimistic after learning the Queensland Government and SunWater had agreed to a $440 million class action settlement. It was revealed on Friday the two had agreed to cover a total 50 per cent of the liability. Seqwater, which is 50 per cent liable for damages, is reportedly pushing on with its appeal. We have had good news before which has been deflated, Mr Beaumont said. The 7000-strong class action was first lodged in 2014 over the alleged negligent operation of Wivenhoe and Somerset Dams in 2011.
