( Voor de minder bedeelden in het Engels, dit gaat niet over een slagerijproduct, zie kop)

Sydney - Australian soldiers were called in Sunday to help deal with Victoria's worst flooding in more than a decade.
At least 40,000 homes were without power north of Melbourne, the state capital, and 250 homes are inundated.
Tens of thousands of people were urged to evacuate properties before swollen rivers cut road links and strand communities.
Victorian Premier John Brumby said the floodwaters were rising and soldiers were needed to help "with things like relief, evacuations or relocations and assisting with things like sandbagging and holding back the water."
Emergency services received more than 2,000 calls for help since the rains began Friday.
