My question is to the Treasurer. Can he advise when the $420 million crisis assistance package was made available to the states and why Queensland is still prevaricating whilst cattlemen shoot dying cattle and suffer the trauma of pending foreclosures? Given we are now five months into the crisis and there is still no significant action from Queensland, can he redirect the $420 million to a reconstruction fund, thus facilitating farm access to government interest rates of three per cent?
