QLD banana grower receive 50,000 dollars in grants

Queensland banana growers will receive an additional 50 thousand dollars in grants after 1,200 hectares of crops were affected by Tropical Cyclone Niran in March. 

Initially, only 10% of primary produce farmers were originally offered 25 thousand dollars in emergency grants, but they were adamant that was inadequate. 

The growers said there has been a lack of engagement from the Queensland government over the last six weeks after the storm, with the matter passing through three different ministers' hands.
