Today in question time the Leader of the National Party asked me a question about Eugowra and support for people still dealing with the impact of the floods. I have spoken with the Minister for Emergency Management and National Recovery and Resilience, Senator Watt, and I can inform the Leader of the National Party that this morning he had a meeting with the New South Wales emergency services and reconstruction ministers about how we can ensure that recovery can get moving faster, including at Eugowra. The Commonwealth has put forward a range of suggestions to the New South Wales government that they have agreed to consider. I will continue to keep the Leader of the National Party, and also the member for Calare, informed of the progress.

House adjourned at 17:00
