Huzzah!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s more money on the way to help farmers struggling in drought affected parts of Australia with the Federal Government to expand its assistance package.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is taking his proposal to Federal Cabinet today after a key budget committee last week approved the plan.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is reporting the assistance to be offered is a \u2018sizeable\u2019 amount.\u00a0It\u2019ll focus on not just those on the land, but also workers outside of farming who are exposed to financial dangers from years of harsh conditions.<\/p>\n

States will also be urged to do more to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has told\u00a0The Sydney Morning Herald,<\/em>\u00a0\u201cWe are obviously in constant contact with our state government, for whom tock and farmland is their remit, for which, you know, they are responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n
