Me too.
Typical economist's suggestion - why doesn't the government take equity -
partial ownership of farming land - in return for their drought relief
handouts? This goes for all other bailouts to the private sector as well of
course. Marginal farming land gained in this way could either be returned
to productive use in better years or (better) retired, rehabilitated (maybe
as part of the infamous work for the dole system) and covenanted.
That way taxpayers (which includes the farmers themselves - those of them
who pay tax) get some sort of eventual bang for their buck.
Or is that using the "N" word - nationalisation?
