Disaster relief for residents in flooded areas of Tasmania has been announced, including grants for repairs and living expenses as the clean-up begins.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visited Launceston and Devonport where he and Premier Will Hodgman announced disaster assistance would cover 18 local government areas. The aid includes immediate grants for families and longer-term help to cover the costs of housing repair, household items and temporary living expenses.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten voiced his support for the move but says more proactive work needs to be done before floods happen.
