Mr. Noel Meehan:

That is correct. Currently, once ASSAP asks a farmer to implement a measure, we do not have any money to offer that farmer. A lot of the measures we are asking farmers to take are out of the farmers' pockets. To be fair, many of the measures we are asking for are not expensive. It is more about practice change and doing certain things at different times to minimise impact, so the costs of what we are asking are quite low. There is nobody from the two Departments here but both the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine have made a commitment to provide some funding. All these details have to be finalised, and I will not get into that, but there is a commitment for funding from both Departments to help farmers implement measures for water quality. However, that will not happen until 2023 or thereabouts so we have to continue our work in the meantime, but that commitment is there.
