Donate NOW to support our farmers!
Our farmers need our support. Large areas of Australia have been in drought for periods ranging from a year to seven years. The Australian Government has now declared 100% of NSW in drought and 57% of Queensland is classified as in drought.
"Its worse than you are seeing in the media, it's far worse. It's dire. I worry every day when I go to visit farming families that it's going to be hours too late, it's literally that bad"- Ms Robertson to Prime Minister Turnbull
