Nationals are on a rotation system between the states, for both As and Taipans and most other classes. Qld's turn. I believe NSW are next year for the Taipans.

Problem was that a low pressure system (almost cyclone class) has sat off Fraser Island for the past week and has refused to budge and has affected weather systems all the way down to Sydney. Heaps of wind, but no rain. They couldn't run the annual Pittwater to Coffs Harbour yacht race due to the conditions, which shows how bad the conditions have been. Can't plan for this, and unfortunate that it happened.

Do I dare blame global warming? <duck>
