While noting the assistance which has been given, I should like to ask the Prime Minister whether he has a long-term policy. Many hundreds of farmers will be bankrupt, and many thousands of people will be rendered homeless, and will be unable to rehabilitate themselves unless they have generous financial assistance from the Government. Are the Government prepared to consider some method of assistance and compensation on the lines of the War Damage Act, and, if possible, include damage done by floods within the terms of that Act?
