Background
The Senate Standing Committees on Finance and Public Administration held an inquiry into the Emergency Response Fund Amendment (Disaster Ready Fund) Bill 2022. The Bill sought to create a process for spending $200m per year on natural disaster resilience and risk reduction.
Our submission

You can read the full Good Ancestors submission. Submissions from other related individuals and organisations are also available on the Disaster Ready Fund Inquiry webpage.
