Thousands of Australians are homeless in the wake of the devastating floods in eastern Australia.
The town of Lismore was one of the worst hit, and while the water may have receded, many homes are uninhabitable - with some uninsured.
The major business centre is in ruins and if that's not enough, a shortage of building products and tradespeople is compounding the problem.
Local state MP, Janelle Saffin says many homes have been wiped out by the floods.
