Senator XENOPHON (South Australia) (14:49): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. And yes: I do wish the Leader of the Government in the Senate to refer that issue to the Treasurer, as a matter of urgency. Given that most of these wine grape growers are still burdened by debt due to drought conditions of a number of years ago, borrowing heavily to buy water to keep their vines alive, can the government advise on whether they will be eligible, and in what circumstances, for the emergency assistance package for farmers announced last week by the Prime Minister and the Minister for Agriculture?
