Drought
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) presented a petition bearing 6413 signatures:
Issue:
This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the persistent dry conditions farmers are facing across North-East Victoria, and the impact this is having on their livelihoods, their ability to produce food, and their mental health.
Action:
The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly declares a drought in North-East Victoria, including the Benalla, Strathbogie, Mitchell, Greater Bendigo, Greater Shepparton, Campaspe, Alpine, Wangaratta, and Mansfield council areas – ensuring that support and funding opportunities are made available to farmers in these regions.
Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow on motion of Jade Benham.
