QuestionView source ↗
Did the Premier imply in his statement last week that the insurance companies are the public’s first point of call and that the government would provide support to only those who are uninsured; and, what does the Premier say to the farmers in the great southern who lost their stock on 1 April and who were not able to insure against loss?

The arrangements in place that apply to the great southern are exactly those that apply whenever an eligible disaster is declared. Those farmers will be able to apply for a range of programs that will assist them with their needs. If the member wants to ask me what are the precise criteria and how the farmers can apply, I am happy to give an answer; however, I will need to be given notice of that question.
