    The shadow minister for agriculture supports the drought package announced but believes it should have been announced a month ago as Labor had been urging. There are still questions around the eligibility criteria for the loans and household support payments that need clarifying urgently. Long-term drought reform also remains outstanding as the process begun under Labor has not progressed in the six months since the Abbott government abolished the vehicle responsible for reform.

    JOEL FITZGIBBON MP SHADOW MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE MEMBER FOR HUNTER

    MEDIA RELEASE DROUGHT PACKAGE: BETTER LATE THAN NEVER & DETAILS UNCLEAR Labor supports the drought package announced today. But it is news struggling drought affected farming families should have heard a month ago and its a move Labor has been urging for weeks. Unfortunately, questions remain about the extent to which eligibility criteria will be relaxed for both the concessional loans scheme and the farm household support payment. These questions need to be clarified urgently. The other outstanding issue is long-term drought reform, a process Labor began but the Abbott Government has not progressed in six months. Indeed, one of the Abbotts Governments first acts was the abolition of the COAG vehicle responsible for drought reform. Farmers deserve to know what future drought assistance measures will look like.
