Prime Minister Scott Morrison clarified during the Bush Summit in Dubbo, New South Wales, that the $3.9 billion dollar drought-proofing kitty won’t affect the infrastructure budget.
The Future Drought Fund legislation will be on the government’s agenda when parliament resumes next week, giving farmers hope that the summit might help with regional Australia’s necessities.
Mr Morrison reaffirmed that no project within the infrastructure plan would be affected when the Building Australia Fund gets repurposed for future drought projects.
