My question is addressed to the Minister for Health and Ageing. I ask the minister: in view of very concerning reports about the psychological and emotional impact of the current drought on farmers and their families, would the minister advise the House of the government’s approach to mental health initiatives in rural areas and, in particular, where farmers can turn for professional help?
