Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon says Singleton has been dudded again, missing out on funding under the Drought Communities Program for the second time.
As part of a $5 billion national commitment over 10 years, the government announced that more LGA's would be made eligible for funding under the program, after its initial announcement in August.
While Singleton Farmers have been left scratching their heads, nearby Muswellbrook has been declared eligible for the funding.
Joel Fitzgibbon says he's been quietly lobbying the government to overturn the decision to no avail, believing lines drawn on a map have no basis as effective drought support.
