| | The Border Mail - Jasper to push minister for aid |
 | | The minister will be in Cobram to launch a fruit fly eradication program and has taken the opportunity to meet Moira Shire representatives to discuss the problems associated with drought and frost. |
 | | While some industries in Moira Shire had been eligible for exceptional circumstances assistance for some time, the fruit industry had been excluded, and this must be taken into account when considering the total package of support to be provided to primary producers, he said. |
 | | While new measures are being introduced by the Federal Government to meet the crisis situation facing primary producers, added support must be provided, such as direct financial support and subsidies for fodder and freight costs and water cartage, Mr Jasper said. |
