Queensland’s peak agricultural body wants the Queensland Government to implement an economic stimulus into rural communities to keep them prosperous throughout the 57 percent of Queensland which is now in drought.
CEO of the agricultural body Agforce, Michael Guerin, has remained adamant in the need for capital in outback towns.
Mr. Guerin has also called on the government to provide relief for struggling farmers, as well as maintaining more available mental health services for rural communities throughout the drought.
