My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s announcement today of further assistance measures for farmers affected by drought, for which the opposition offers complete bipartisan support. I also refer the Prime Minister to my question to him on 29 May this year, when I asked whether existing exceptional circumstances drought arrangements provided sufficient support for farm businesses and farm families, and whether any further changes might be possible to assist drought hit farmers. Has the Prime Minister given further consideration to any changes to support arrangements for drought affected farmers?
