Farmers' Pensions and Welfare

The government announced plans to clear the backlog of farmers' pension payments and resume arrears payments. This initiative aims to provide financial relief to the farming community.

"Govt. to clear farmers' pension backlog" — ah yes, the classic "we'll get to it eventually" followed by "resume arrears payments," which is politician speak for "we found some loose change in the couch." Pretty sure farmers have aged into a whole new tax bracket while waiting for their backlog to clear.
