Nationals Leader David Littleproud is in Bathurst, NSW, with more on the Regional Australia Future Fund policy, announced this morning:

Finally there will be no more funding gaps for regional Australia. When not going to have to fight over the scraps year after year to get the bit extra to make sure that we have the amenity of life that people in capital cities take for granted. We produce around $350 million worth of Australian exports, and what I’m saying today is we want a bit of that back. We want a bit of that back to give a legacy and a continual investment in regional Australia so we continue to do that for Australia. I don’t think we are asking for a lot but this is transformational. This is a legacy piece that I’m proud to have worked with Peter Dutton on to make sure that regional Australia is no longer left behind.
