About the episode
The Allan Labor Government is now postponing the implementation of the Emergency Service and Volunteer Fund levy until 2027. Ratepayers in the Mildura shire are paying some of the highest rates in Victoria — up to seven times higher than those in southern regions. Also a national update on the east coast grain harvest from GrainCorp. Bumper crops in Queensland and northern NSW. But the further you move south, the more variable the yields. I’ll take you just over the Victorian border to Mulwala on the Riverine Plains. The country is tinder dry and harvest will end earlier than usual due to poor yields. Then we’ll go 100 kms north west of Albury and Roy Hamilton runs a large scale cropping operation. He says it used to be about managing climate variability, now it’s much more about managing climate volatility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
