        Would be better off if the farmers sold all their stock and the government paid them to rehabilitate and manage their farms. Where the farms are most affected by drought a complete native flora and fauna rehabilitation program would be the best idea.

        It helps the banks get their payments & that is why it was done.

        Ah the free marketeers strike again. If your crops aren’t sustainable in Australia then they shouldn’t be grown here.

        I wonder if that resilience is allowed to include GM crops?
