In fact there are two internationally experienced IFE experts in Brisbane
itself.
Frankly, the preparation has not been in place to roll out the support and
media interaction when this came. We must be better prepared for next time.

Appropriate IFE response? In Australia? I despair. The very idea that
bottles are not safe is so alien to most of the community as to be
unfathomable - the idea that formula itself could be dangerous won't even be
considered. Thousands of homes are without power. Flood waters are
contaminated. Roads are closed. Supermarkets have run out of staples.
Hospitals have been evacuated. And still there are calls for bottles and
PIF ... There is expertise in country but there is no perception of need.
