What that 32 seconds allows me to say is that the package comprises an irrigation exit grant of up to $150,000, up to $10,000 for advice and retraining and up to $10,000 for the removal of permanent plant and production related infrastructure. Under the program, irrigators with fewer than 15 hectares of land and more than 10 megalitres of water entitlements may be eligible for the package. Of course, irrigators will need to sell their water entitlements to the Australian government in order to be eligible for the package. More details about the package will be announced by the respective minister shortly. (Time expired)
