$117m help for Equine Influenza victims
October 22, 2007THE embattled horse industry has received a $117 million boost, with the Federal Government extending its assistance for a further 12 weeks following the equine influenza outbreak.
Federal Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Minister Peter McGauran said the new aid will start on November 17 and continue to February for those affected by EI since August 25.
This extension would start once the original 12-week financial aid for the equestrian industry ends on November 17, McGauran told reporters at Centennial Park in Sydney yesterday.
