The application process seems to be very bureaucratic. This is what I am hearing back. The Minister said himself that many approvals have not resulted in drawdowns. Not just in the dairy sector, but also in the sheep fencing/mobile handling equipment scheme, for example; from what I hear back, this is particularly bad. There seems to be an awful lot of red tape between the results and the drawdown not happening.
