  1. Coastal erosion emergency in #Lancelin WA - and locals are left to fundraise $150k for a seawall themselves!
    The beach has lost 50m in just 15 months, with a hotel, pub & caravan park now at risk. Nearly $90k raised in 2 weeks by the community, but locals say the state govt is "missing in action".
    A $150k state grant for sand renourishment last year washed away within 6 months. Now residents are begging for hard infrastructure before their town slips into the ocean.
    WA Nationals leader Shane Love says it's "outrageous" locals have to self-fund. Meanwhile, minister Jessica Stojkovski warns seawalls could affect other coastal areas - but locals point to Perth's miles-long seawall as proof it works.

    When does community fundraising become a national disgrace?
