Townsville flood repair delays have left hundreds of people still homeless six months later.

 

Only about 1,400 of the 3,300 north Queensland homes damaged by floodwaters have been repaired, according to July figures from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.

 

A Townsville resident, Maxine Ellis, says people feel they have been left "swinging in the wind" by insurers or stakeholders involved in the disaster recovery industry.
