CLAIM Posted by will • Apr 07, 2026
It’s crucial to question whether increasing funding for cyclone preparedness is the best use of our budget. Should we instead focus on long-term climate adaptation strategies that address the root causes of extreme weather events?

CLAIM Posted by will • Apr 07, 2026
While preparing for cyclones is important, diverting funds towards large-scale infrastructure projects could harm other vital community services, such as education and healthcare. We should consider a balanced approach that addresses multiple needs instead of focusing solely on cyclone preparedness.
