Incidentally, all that flooding in suburban areas wasn't the fault of the sustained downpour but was entirely because of inadequate drainage systems and very poor maintenance practices.

Suburban flooding is caused by the bath tub effect, you cannot instantly get rid of a massive amount of water via a small outlet immediately, you have to let it drain, if you pull the plug on your bath tub the water does not dissapear immediately does it?, it has to drain away over time, no amount of urban planning will stop flooding.

No doubt it contains stormwater pollution, the foam itself is natural. I've seen it on remote parts of the coast

As an added attraction to the storm water pollution and filthy foam, is the sewerage that floats around Sydney Harbour. Nothing like a Sunday sailing in the Harbour and instead of Dolphins, there is somebody's TURD bobbing along side ........ GROSS.

I was down the south east last year at a beach that is hundreds of k's away from any major civilization and it was covered in plastic and other assorted litter, I was shocked and saddened, obviously there is some sort of ocean current action going on that causes the sh!t to accumulate right there, most people will never even see it due to its remoteness, if the currents conspired to dump it at a beach in a capital city there would be an outcry.

Yep.

They've been called Bondi Cigars for as long as I can remember.

And, coincidentally, a mate of mine was in a band called the Bondi Cigars. https://bondicigars.com/

Fraid you're intel is many years out of date.
I've not seen a cigar or blind mullet Bondi since they switched on the deep ocean outfall 25 years ago. Yes there are some stormwater issues after heavy rain but for a city the size of Sydney our waters are bloody clean.
