Mr Speaker, I wish to add to an answer about the $35.5 million in Dairy Recovery Concessional Loans that the member for Indi asked about. Loans for 67 farmers have been approved across the participating states—Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales—as at 4 November. In Victoria alone, $28.4 million in Dairy Recovery Concessional Loans, benefiting 58 farmers, have been approved as of 4 November 2016. As I indicated in my answer, a further $9.9 million in loan offers have been made to 17 farmers—all of these in Victoria.
