PM Visits Drought-Hit Farmers

  • On Monday, Anthony Albanese, Australia's Prime Minister, traveled to the farming communities of Fischer in South Australia that have been impacted by drought to discuss the ongoing difficulties they face.
  • The visit followed reports of severe drought in multiple states, with dry conditions reducing grain plantings and causing farmers to pause sowing amid uncertain rainfall forecasts.
  • Farmers like Jono Mudge and Ryan Dennis noted extremely low rain and delayed crop emergence, while ABARES projected national winter grain at 55.6 million tonnes, 13% above the last decade's average.
  • Albanese emphasized the reality of climate change, pledged $2 million extra for rural counselling, and highlighted bipartisan efforts required to meet net zero by 2050 amid increasing extreme weather events.
  • The visit and funding boost aimed to support farmers and communities under exceptional drought, with the 2025 National Drought Forum planned in South Australia to evaluate drought policies.
