30-Jun-2010Farmers in the Bundarra area of New South Wales can now access Exceptional Circumstances (EC) assistance until 2012 after the Gillard Government accepted the independent advice of the National Rural Advisory Council (NRAC). The decision follows an offer from Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Tony Burke to the NSW Government to submit a revised application for assistance. Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Tony Burke said Bundarra farmers are experiencing some of the toughest conditions of their working lives and the EC assistance will help them with their current circumstances.
