Mr Cobb criticised the decision not to engage with communities that have run out of water, and farmers in western NSW who have been forced to shoot livestock following devastating dust storms.

Mr Cobb says he wrote to the Prime Minister in September imploring him to visit drought affected communities to offer moral and financial support.

“Kevin Rudd has proven in two short years as PM he would attend the opening of a brick dunny in Brussels if he got an invite, yet he can’t find the time to visit desperate communities in regional Australia," Mr Cobb says.

Mr Cobb raised the issue in Parliament, also registering his disgust with the fact the Rudd Government introduced legislation last week for an extra $650 million during the next two years to buy water entitlements, with no mention of the "desperate communities and farmers" along the Lachlan River with stock and domestic water needs.

“Residents of Euabalong are being restricted to just 150 litres a day," Mr Cobb says.

“Graziers west of the Darling have been forced to shoot cattle because the dust storms wiped out all fodder reserves.

“These are Kevin Rudd's fellow Australian’s doing it extraordinarily tough – yet Rudd couldn’t even be bothered to respond to their plight."

Mr Cobb said he was being called daily from people "at their wits' end".

Mr Cobb said Mr Rudd needed to start governing for all Australians.
