Ms WELLS (Lilley) (15:13): My question is to the Prime Minister. The Schlegel family in my electorate of Lilley lost their business and 90 per cent of their possessions in the February floods. They're currently living in a rental caravan with their remaining possessions in boxes. Why does the Schlegel family deserve only one-third of the Australian government disaster relief payment that a resident in New South Wales receives?
Mr MORRISON (Cook-Prime Minister) (15:14): In Queensland the government has already committed to phase 1 of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements on the proposal put forward to us by the Queensland government that comprise 250 million in primary producer grants, 32 million in 1 billion in Queensland to support flood assistance and relief to households and individuals through the ADF, who did a sterling job out of the barracks there in Enoggera. I want to commend all the members for their work in supporting their communities throughout the Queensland floods. We will continue in our assessments of the further package that we're discussing with the Queensland government now. But national disasters are no place for partisan politics. They're a place for support, together, and these things should not be made a function of partisan contest.
