That's going a bit far. But people who choose to live in flood prone 
areas and not insure should be required to sign a statutory declaration 
to the effect that they won't winge about it if there's a flood, nor 
ask for, nor even accept, any financial assistance.

But the government (state and local councils) have a lot to answer for. 
Are we so short of land in Australia that we need to resort to building 
in low lying areas?
