Episode Details

Liam and Rachel are dismantling their flood-damaged home piece by piece, preparing for a July move to higher ground — part of a government program meant to help victims of 2022’s devastating floods. But a scathing auditor general report reveals the Resilient Homes and Lands Programs were poorly planned, with zero homes or land delivered after three and a half years. Frustrated residents, including Liam and Rachel, say the wait has been more painful than the floods themselves, and while officials now vow to speed things up by September, many feel it’s too little, too late. In the meantime, some are taking matters into their own hands, using buyback funds to relocate themselves — proving the government’s delays are costing lives and hope.
