Prime Minister Scott Morrison announces $31 million for an irrigation project in Victoria’s Gippsland along with a $2.5 million investment in mental health services to aid farmers suffering from drought.
The pledge came from a recent tour Morrison did in the drought-affected region with the Agriculture Minister David Littleproud.
Morrison says he can’t make it rain but he is working closely with the local community to ensure the right supports are in place for the future.
