Nationals chief David Littleproud says the federal government terminating funding for counselling companies and psychological well being assist for NSW flood victims is a “callous act”.
The counselling funding is about to finish in March nonetheless, the Nationals chief has referred to as for the assist to be prolonged.
He stated the choice to finish the assist reveals a “lack of understanding” from the federal government.
“To do this to people who are still recovering from floods in New South Wales is just unconscionable,” he advised Sky News Australia.
“And I thought the Albanese government was one that said they would govern for all Australians, well they need to prove it.
“They need to give confidence of certainty to these communities that these services will continue.”
