"ButsurelytheGovernmentgive longterms?"

"Certainly,theygive20yearsas wedoinWestAustralia.Butthen thecapitalcostismuchgreater whilstourfirstclasslandunder C.F.conditions,sellsatfrom10s.to 25s.peracre,thatofferedbythe QueenslandGovernmentrunsfrom £3to£10,andinsomecaseseven higher.Consequentlyamancan startfarmingonamuchsmaller capitalnerethaninQueensland.
