'This is the worst drought in living memory' | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg has described the drought as 'the worst in living memory” after touring drought-affected parts of the country and witnessing its devastating impact on farmers and businesses. \n\nMr Frydenberg and Water Resources Minister David Littleproud visited the drought-affected regional town of Inverell on Wednesday, meeting with those hit hardest by the dry conditions. \n\nHe told Sky News it was a 'really good opportunity for me to come in here first hand and hear these stories and to talk through ways for the government to continue to help'. \n\nMr Frydenberg also called on city residents to take a holiday in regional Australia to support the local economies, saying it would 'be really good for businesses'. \n\nMeanwhile, Mr Frydenberg condemned the big four banks after they failed to pass on interest rate cuts in full for standard home loans after the Reserve Bank slashed the cash rate to a record low of 0.75 per cent.\n\nMr Frydenberg said it was a 'pattern of behaviour from the banks' and the only way they would get the message was 'through the voice of their customers”. JoshFrydenberg Another politician telling us the bleeding obvious. Do something and stop talking and touring. We already know how bad it is, we don't need to pay for you to do another tour. Build the pipeline from the north and build more dams. Use people on newstart to do it. Simple.
