What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Federal Government has proposed replacing the existing Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements with a new Disaster Recovery Funding Framework. This overhaul aims to provide faster and more consistent recovery assistance for communities repeatedly affected by floods and bushfires. Under the proposal, the Commonwealth and State governments would generally share eligible disaster recovery costs on a 50:50 basis once a disaster exceeds a new event-based financial trigger.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reforms would shift the approach from simply repairing damage to helping communities rebuild infrastructure designed to withstand future events. The new framework is designed to be simpler and better suited to an era of more frequent and severe disasters.
