Yes. I would like to speak to it as well. I move:

That all words after "reading" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"the House:

(1) is of the view that the income support provided to farmers and their families through the Farm Household Allowance is inadequate due to the current maximum of four cumulative years of income support provided; and

(2) calls on the Government to consider extending this maximum period to seven years, the average duration of droughts in Australia".
