"In Tasmania I met some lovely family at the Rainbow Gathering … and we all kind of spread across Australia, did our separate things and ended up in the Northern Rivers," she said.Ms Hull said she wanted others to have the same opportunity. "That's the idea of , to kind of create spaces to take care of each other and make sure that everyone has the basic necessities."Lismore local Dylan McConville, a supporter of the Pine Street squatters, said the international flavour of the group was a welcome addition to the community.
The Resilient Homes buyback program is one of the most visible changes to Lismore since the 2022 floods. The squatters want the government to grant them and other homeless people a licence to occupy until the fate of the houses is decided.But Reclaiming Our Recovery has supported the occupants at Pine Street because of a fear that many of the timber homes affected by the floods will be destroyed.
