Politicians in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) have called for a tailor-made disaster funding system to deal with the flood crisis as current structures have failed to meet the expectations of the state’s flood-stricken communities.

NSW Treasurer Matt Kean said the current structure for distributing relief funds had not functioned the way it should, and there were many instances of the federal government not delivering support to impacted communities.
