This is after farmers in NSW received news from the Rural Assistance Authority, the body responsible for processing claims, that some people will not be receiving the full 75pc rebate they had budgeted for when undertaking works on their property.
“While we understand the Federal Government has met its commitment with the funding it has provided, thousands of farmers have undertaken these works and spent money on the understanding a 75pc cent rebate was available, NSW Farmers’ President Fiona Simson said
“In some cases, farmers have borrowed money to undertake these works.”
