Flood levy
The flood levy was a temporary reconstruction tax that will fund the reconstruction of Queensland, Australia, following the 2010–2011 Queensland floods. The proposal passed Parliament on 22 March 2011. This levy will apply to everyone who has a taxable income of more than $50,000 a year, and will come into effect from 1 July 2011. Preliminary estimates, following consultation with the Queensland Government, have concluded that the Commonwealth Government will have to invest in $5.6 billion, in rebuilding flood-affected regions. Two thirds of that price will be delivered through budget cuts. ==Passing the Parliament== The Flood Recovery Levy passed the Parliament on 22 March 2011. The bill passed the Australian House of Representatives with government support by Andrew Wilkie, Bob Katter, Tony Crook, and Adam Bandt. The Liberal/National Coalition Opposition opposed the bill. The bill proceeded to the Senate, with Family First Senator Steve Fielding and independent Nick Xenophon supporting the proposal. Under a deal with Senator Xenophon, the government will rewrite the terms of the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements to ensure state and territory governments take out disaster insurance or establish an equivalent fund.
