FRESH from helping Murwillumbah pharmacy owner, Skye Swift, get through flood waters to open her store, former Surfing World Champion, Mick Fanning, is back in the headlines.
The shark slapping superstar has used his social media profile to get Elon Musk to lend a hand to people in flood-affected parts of Australia's east coast.
Fanning tweeted, "@elonmusk, we need help with the flood disaster in NSW Australia".
"The people have no means of communication and really need your help... can you help us with Starlink?"
Fanning's request was granted when telecommunications provider, Netvault, announced it has donated 10 Starlink Rapid Deployment Kits to communities in the Northern Rivers, to help people reconnect with family, friends and emergency services, nbnnews reported.
Starlink uses low-orbiting satellites launched into space by Musk's SpaceX company to enable people to connect to the internet using a dish and router.
