New South Wales “has actually done a great deal of heavy lifting however other states have not” he said
Littleproud has warned it will take a minimum of two years for farmers to recoup their losses after the drought breaks.
He has challenged the states to start a dam building program to protect regional locations from future dry spells.
Talking on Sky News – Mr Littleproud said the country should back itself as well as develop crucial facilities.
“We perpetrate our very own misery in this country by stating why can’t we do things as opposed to how we can”
