Plenty there to start off with, short term assisstance now is what is needed.

Didn't see you as a supporter of "i need free money to stay in business" sort of person.

Nice hysteria by the way, made you sound rully mad.... Angry

It would have been embarrassing to start a thread about someone asking a stupid question, considering the gravity of the situation.

How did they describe it?

Do you think everyone's situations the same?

They were probably happy to tell the sitting PM how their situation was.

I can see how that question would sound to some, but I'm still glad Abbott was concerned and interested enough to find out about the individuals circumstances rather than not talk at all to these people, as I'm sure everyone's story is not identical although much would have a common theme.

nope , even as a farmer i dont support too much in the way of drought relief.

it just encourages overstocking.

the bloke before me had 600 head on my block and ate it out so badly , soil erosion , lantana, fireweed. i dont think farmers who overstock should be rewarded and i dont think they care about their land.

my boys got plenty water

Things are never simple are they? I feel the same about live cattle and sheep exporters.. they bleat .. their animals die.. cos its too dry.. er um sorry about that

The simian had to be dragged out to where farmers/graziers were suffering from drought by Barnyard.

Any discussion of AGW causing longer/more severe droughts? Nah, not with the missing link!

Something offensive in a creep who has been carried by the taxpayer his whole parliamentary career, every pollie pedal, every ironman this monkey has applied for Travel Allowance of $300–350/night even tho ironmen and pollie pedals are not Parliamentary duties talking about not carrying farmers/industries.

I know what I'd LIKE to see him dragged out to...

It involves a wall, a blindfold, and a free cigarette (paid for by 'the taxpayer' of course).
