Australia: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji Leaves Widespread Destruction in Queensland

The slow-moving system swept across the Central Highlands and Coalfield regions on Monday, January 12. Wind gusts reached 113 km/h on Hamilton Island. Early estimates suggest that more than 48,000 livestock have perished in the floods, which continue to inundate vast areas of Queensland—stretching from the coast at Mackay, 1,000 kilometres west to Cloncurry, and north to Townsville and Cairns. Central Queensland is the latest region to feel the impact of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji, with Clermont recently enduring its heaviest rainfall in 110 years.

An environmental activist from the Sustainable Forest Advocacy Institute (Lembahtari), Sayed Zainal walks beside piles of plastic waste from various global product brands that support deforestation, and logs carried by flash floods caused by Tropical Cyclone Senyar in the Leuser Ecosystem area at coordinates 4°16'26.26"N 97°48'47.74" E (UNESCO heritage site) on Sumatra Island, Indonesia on December 29, 2025. Sayed Zainal said that this real condition is evidence of large companies that still fail to fulfil their promises to stop deforestation in their supply chains. This deforestation is generally triggered by the production of major commodities such as palm oil, beef, soy, wood, pulp & paper, coffee, and cocoa, among the list of global brands and companies that are in the spotlight because they are considered to hurt forests, namely Mondelēz, Nissin Foods, Procter & Gamble (P&G), Ferrero, Salim Group, Palm Oil and Pulp & Paper Sector, Sinar Mas Group (APP), RGE Group, and Wilmar International.
