flag Australia offers financial aid to storm-affected workers in Queensland and New South Wales.

flag Australia is providing financial support to workers affected by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which caused extensive flooding, power outages, and property damage in Queensland and New South Wales. flag The government will offer up to 13 weeks of income support, equivalent to jobseeker benefits, to workers with income below the average weekly wage. flag This aid, along with a one-off A$1,000 disaster payment, aims to assist those impacted by the storm, which left over 230,000 households without power and prompted thousands of insurance claims. flag The insurance industry faces scrutiny due to underinsurance issues, with only 24% of homes in high-risk flood areas having flood cover, leading to calls for government investment in flood mitigation measures.
