Major General Day has finished his mission to provide strategic coordination to the Commonwealth's efforts to tackle the drought. The Major General's final report suggests a number of approaches that government could take in future drought policy across portfolios and jurisdictions. Drawing on the Major General's final report, Minister Littleproud, as the minister responsible for drought, is now developing the government's long-term drought strategy. Given that the work being undertaken by Minister Littleproud is subject to cabinet consideration, it is not usual to release documents subject to cabinet. The government does not support this motion.
