Western Victoria Region
Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (14:08): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture Ros Spence. Minister, I know that farmers in Victoria’s south-west continue to face the lowest rainfall on record. This is impacting stock and harvest and putting pressure on feed and water security. I also know that the Allan Labor government is backing those farmers with over $12 million to help them prepare their properties for increasing dry conditions through infrastructure upgrades to pipes, tanks, troughs, dams, stock containment areas and grain and fodder storage. My question to the minister is: how many farmers in my electorate of Western Victoria have been supported by the south-west drought support package?
