The government is committed to providing support to drought affected farmers and communities. The water-for-fodder program and the agreement struck with the South Australian government will assist farmers in the southern Murray-Darling Basin to grow fodder and pasture to support livestock. The details of the agreement with South Australia will be released publicly and will be subject to a project agreement setting out the terms and conditions prior to the program being formally opened. An inquiry is unnecessary and premature, noting that full details of the agreement and program delivery will be released shortly.
