The Queensland state government has accused the Federal Government of delivering what has been described as a "sucker punch" to the state's disaster recovery efforts - following a proposal to change the way natural disaster funding is shared between Canberra and the state governments.

Under the changes, disaster recovery costs would change where states would have to invest more into disaster funding which would rip millions from the state. With Queensland being the most disaster-prone state in Australia, many regard this as unacceptable.

Queensland's Minister for Local Government and Water and Minister for Fire, Disaster Recovery and Volunteers, Ann Leahy, joins Burty to talk more on just how bad this move could be.
