A Parliamentary committee has released its report into climate change adaptation. But some of the committee's own MPs think it is too vague.
Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Select Committee tabled its inquiry report yesterday.
It sets out some principles for forthcoming legislation the Climate Change minister wants to get cross-party support for.
This covers issues from who pays for resilience measures, to buyouts after weather events, to managed retreat from some residential areas.
However, the report's preamble states some of the committee's own members believe its recommendations are vague, open to interpretation, in places contradictory, and avoid some of the most challenging questions.
National MP Stuart Smith is chair of the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee and talks to Kathryn about the report.
