Researchers have found 23,000 Australians over the age of 15 have been displaced by floods, bushfires or cyclones on average every year since 2009.

Andrew King, a lecturer in climate science at the University of Melbourne, said there was “evidence to suggest climate change is intensifying those kind of extreme rain events”.

“With larger cities and larger urban areas, we’d expect to see more incidents like these floods affecting more people,” he said.
