21 FEBRUARY 2019: Labor voted against the Future Drought Bill in parliament today. Fortunately, they did not have the numbers to stop it passing, but it does demonstrate their lack of concern for anyone outside the capital cities.

For the record, I have copied and pasted below the official record of the vote as recorded by Hansard. The first votes are whether or not to bring debate to a close and and ask the parliament to vote on the bill. The second votes are the actual vote on the bill.
