Description:

Coastal erosion is posing an increasing threat to beach towns across Australia.

Each week, there are more reports of cliffs collapsing and properties coming under threat from encroaching water.

But governments have been slow to respond to this crisis. Many people in these towns are now questioning how much longer their homes will be around - and what will happen if and when they’re swept into the sea.

Today, regional editor for The Age, Benjamin Preiss, joins Chris Zappone to discuss the coastal erosion crisis, and the future of our beloved beach towns.
