Six months after one of the biggest natural disasters in Australian history hit northern New South Wales (NSW), flood-impacted farms and businesses are still waiting for support announced by the state government in March, putting incomes in jeopardy, according to Nationals federal member of parliament, Kevin Hogan.

Farmers and businesses have not yet received grant details or criteria they need to make important decisions about their future, which is “unacceptable,” the member for Page in northern NSW said in a statement on Tuesday.
