This definitely needed to be highlighted

The difficulties red cross put these people through to receive their $500 flood grant was nothing short of disgusting. These people need help.

what people from outside our region don't understand is that mallacoota and other towns hit by the bushfires are towns of 500-3000 people... lismore is a regional city of 35, 000 people and almost NO ONE was unaffected by this flood. not even including surrounding villages like uki, nimbin, tuntable, clunes, bexhill etc... it's tens of thousands of people

Had to drive through South Lismore and its CBD today. Next to no businesses operating. Very few flood affected homes occupied. Many will never be lived in again and will eventually be bulldozed. It’s not over. These people not only need help now, but we’ll into the future.

Albo made the rain stop, what a hero.

Businesses are still struggling in the cbd of Lismore and more are effected still in Broadwater and in Wardell near Ballina nsw and in woodburn

Lismore is so bad. I grew up there. Its my home and i remember floods there before the levee. This flood was beyond anything. It wasnt just deeper than any in recorded memory. The force of the water was incredible. Force that shocks me to the core.

[johnny-yioi]

Really feel for these people.. but it’s clearly time to start planning to leave Lismore and the Government should be helping them do this via land swaps and necessary building assistance. Trying to rebuild Lismore isn’t admirable, it’s foolish and ignorant.

Geez what will they do when it floods again? ⏳

[The.Drunk-Koala]

Its not coping months later. Some shops are still untouch from that day.

[barrysook]

9 months on and not much has changed..

[balung]

How wise, rebuild again on a known flood plain, what could go wrong?

[djrbfmbfm-woa]

Lismore is at a standstill. worst i've ever seen. j.

On a scale 0 to 10 for pain. The is about a 3. 10 is losing a child, having a terminal illness, being disfigured, losing a limb or becoming a paraplegic. Some perspective!!!

Or the poor little things ?
