Junior minister appeals for reflection before objecting to flood relief schemes

The Winter Ready campaign, launched by Minister Hildegard Naughton, focuses on preparing for flooding, a growing risk due to climate change. The campaign emphasizes a whole-of-government approach and community involvement in flood preparedness. Recent weather patterns, including storms and mild winters, highlight the need for resilience. Weather warnings now focus on impacts, not just conditions, to better inform the public.
