State Nationals MP for Clarence has quizzed the NSW Labor Government on flood recovery buyback numbers ahead of a critical meeting with the NSW Premier tomorrow around the delivery of funding for Tranche 2 of the Resilient Home Program.
In the NSW Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, Mr Williamson asked the NSW Minister for Planning Paul Scully how he would explain to the 4000 Northern Rivers families they have missed out on vital funding support under the Resilient Homes Program following the release of figures by the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation.
“It’s disappointing the Minister spent most of his time pointing the finger at the previous Government, but I do welcome his comments that the door is not closed on further options and support for impacted residents,” Mr Williamson said.
“Now is not the time to be playing the blame game.
“This is a confusing and distressing time for families trying to recover and rebuild stronger following on from the catastrophic floods and we need to be fair dinkum about delivering on promised support not playing politics.
“The NSW Labor Government now holds the purse strings and needs to step up and deliver on funding for Tranche Two of the Resilient Homes Program.
“I will be doing everything I can to ensure the delivery of the promised funding at tomorrow’s meeting with the Premier”.
