Neale insisted that he would not have left his young family behind Queensland, with the storm of category two approaching.

'Unless they were willing to fly to families, which in a quite short warning I am not sure that they could have organized that, but if they could fly to families outside the city and we could have resolved the dog, then I would have done it.
'But I wouldn't have left Jules (Neale's wife) here with our three -year -old daughter and a 10 -week and 11 weeks old boy.
'I wouldn't have played.'
