Queensland fights federal disaster funding cuts

The Albanese Government has proposed changing disaster funding arrangements from the current 64% federal contribution to a 50-50 split between Commonwealth and states. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli argues this reduction would prevent communities from recovering after disasters, forcing difficult choices about which infrastructure gets repaired. The Premier warns that Queensland, as the most decentralised and disaster-prone state, would face significant challenges funding essential recovery work for local councils and communities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
