When Lismore was hit with its biggest flood in recorded history, national Indigenous newspaper the Koori Mail responded quickly to the needs of the community. abc730
The Lismore-based Koori Mail newspaper says it's been "doing the government's job" for months by providing crucial flood support
In the wake of the mud and wreckage, Ms Moran said they were forced to face the reality that for the first time in the organisation's 30-year history, they would not be able to print the next edition, and possibly several after that. It was more than three months before the Koori Mail and the adjoining Koori Kitchen received any financial support from government.
"The first Recovery Centres were established by the New South Wales Government on 5 March 2022, providing food, access to accommodation and a range of other support services to any flood-affected community member."Funding is currently available to non-government organisations across the Northern Rivers through a $13.3 million NGO funding package.
"But this point about training and resourcing communities – it's not lost on us and it will be part of the report."
