Farmers are still waiting for bushfire loan applications to be assessed. #abc730 @lucethoughts #bushfires #auspol abc.net.au/news/2020-05-1…
Chicken farmer Dan Tarasenko from Quaama, on the NSW South Coast, almost lost everything in a massive #bushfire four months ago. “Damage-wise we probably lost a million dollars,” he said. #abc730 #auspol
The Tarasenkos applied for two different types of loans available to primary producers - one at the end of February and the other at the end of March. They’re still waiting for the assessment process on those loans to even start. #abc730 #auspol
Nationally, less than half of the concessional loans that have been applied for have been processed and approved. #abc730 #auspol
“No-one is maliciously trying to delay anything here. This is a huge recovery program and we need to work with the states. I’m not going to blame them for anyone that’s been left behind inadvertently, but we need to catch them quickly.” – @D_LittleproudMP #abc730 #auspol
