Farmers want more cyclone relief funding

From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 7 March 2023

Cyclone-hit farmers want more Government money in order to recover from the disaster.

The government has doubled its fund for cyclone-affected farmers and growers, with another $26 million added to the $25 million dollar fund set up last month.

It provides up to $10,000 for pastoral and arable farmers, which many will put towards boundary fences.
