Drought Assistance

In reply to the Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) ().1 April 2025).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

With the announcement of the additional $55 million for drought support, an additional $4 million has been allocated to assist charities with freight costs to transport donated fodder to assist farmers with feeding livestock.

Three of the five participating charities are continuing with their targeted hay deliveries under their existing funding agreements. Those charities are Rural Aid, Farmers Relief Agency and Rapid Relief Team.
