My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Senator McKenzie. Last month, Minister, you told farmers struggling with years of drought:

A one-off drought relief payment of up to $13,000 for a farming family, and up to $7,500 for an individual is designed to help people determine whether they will be sustainable, should look at succession options or, in some instances choose to sell.

Do you stand by your statement that the drought relief payment is a one-off payment and that farmers should look to sell?
