Receivers and eviction of family farmers

Summary

Farrelly asked whether receivers appointed to family farms consulted the Department and sought assurance that diligent family farmers would not be evicted. The Minister cited ongoing discussions and gave that assurance.

Did the financial institutions who appointed receivers to family farms discuss the matter beforehand with the Department of Agriculture?

Comment on this

There are continuing discussions between people in the Department and the lending agencies.
