A monsoon trough could bring up to 600mm of rainfall and storms across large parts of Queensland. 

The Bureau of Meteorology said the trough contains a low-pressure system, which is expected to continue strengthening as it moves from the northwest to the southeast from tonight into next week.

It is forecast to batter Cairns, Innisfail, Tully, Ingham, Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Burketown, Mornington Island, Normanton, Doomadgee, Richmond, Julia Creek, Camooweal and Croydon.

The system could cause heavy rainfall of up to 260mm, which could cause flash flooding between Cairns and north of Townsville from tonight into tomorrow.

And up to 170mm and flash flooding are forecast in parts of the Gulf Country, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders, North West and Central West Forecast Districts.

Meanwhile, in the northeast tropical coast, winds are picking up speed and damage.

Together, the monsoon trough and winds are expected to spur widespread heavy rainfall.

In the 24 hours to 9am today, 217mm of rainfall was already recorded in Cardwell Gap, making it the wettest place in Australia. 

Consequently, there are flood warnings in place for the Nicholson, Leichhardt, Norman, Gilbert and Diamantin catchments and flood watches for much of the state.

The Gregory River in northwest Queensland is already at major flood levels.

Senior meteorologist Jonathan How warned conditions could continue for a prolonged time and particularly affect outback and remote communities.

"Heavy rainfall will lead to road closures and community isolation, and this could last for quite some period of time, especially for outback and more remote communities as well," he said.

"We are expecting impacts to agriculture, particularly to cattle and livestock, with low temperatures and flood waters expected to last for an extended period of time."

How said rainfall totals will climb over 300mm through the western parts of the state tomorrow and could reach beyond 600mm by Wednesday.

"We are expecting those four-day totals to reach in excess of, even breaching, 700 millimetres," he said.

"And rainfall won't end there."

The monsoon trough and low will then continue to move across the eastern parts of Queensland.

The Bureau of Meteorology will have a clearer understanding of where the rainfall is expected later next week.

‘Considering the increasingly degraded state of these waters, the bill was long overdue.’

A disturbing number of Australians are helping drive child abuse in the Philippines, with 13 people charged and 92 children rescued this year.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) works with its counterparts in the Philippines to investigate online child sexual exploitation.

There have been 35 operations that freed the 92 victims, as young as six.

It led to 13 Australians and 18 alleged facilitators in the Philippines being charged.

They include a 74-year-old man from Western Australia who was sentenced to 23 years' imprisonment for sexually abusing 15 children overseas over nine years, and a 52-year-old man from Victoria serving 10 years and 10 months' imprisonment for 27 charges.

AFP Detective Sergeant Leesa Alexander is based in Manila and said it was "horrific" just how many Australians were helping drive the demand for child abuse in the Philippines.

"Child abuse is abhorrent and can leave victims with a lifelong burden," she said.

Australian offenders allegedly pay for child abuse material from facilitators in the Philippines, who extort children as a way to make money.

Authorities believe Australians are major offenders because of the similar time zones between the two countries, direct flights from most capital cities and the large English-speaking population in the Philippines.

The Philippines also has excellent internet infrastructure.

AFP Commander of Human Exploitation, Helen Schneider, said every action online is traceable.

"Let me be clear, just because the offending may not happen in Australia, we will still find you," she said.

The AFP refers matters to the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Centre (PICACC), which is a global response to online child abuse with help from authorities in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Those matters are then allocated to the Philippines National Police or the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation.

Since the inception of PICACC in February 2019, there have been 324 operations, which have led to 865 victims rescued and 187 people charged.

AFP investigations led to 77 of those people being charged and 315 victims being saved.
