David Farley says he was “impressed” with Anthony Albanese after receiving an in-person guarantee from the prime minister that the Labor government would help out rice factories in his electorate.
Rice producer SunRice announced 78 workers would be sacked from mills in Leeton and Deniliquin this week, but ABC’s Insiders host, David Speers, says a funding package is being prepared to help out the producer and save those jobs.
double quotation markI was impressed how Albanese at the Governor-General’s event the other night came straight up to me and said, ‘Look, I’m aware of it. I’m working on it. We’ll get it done’ … even after, as we left the chamber the other day, we spoke all the way across to the Senate talking about it. How could it be done and put together? So you know, I tilt my hat to them.
