據外媒報道，近期牛奶收購價下跌，很多奶農陷入困境。澳大利亞維多利亞州政府迫于壓力，將減免奶農的市政稅（council rates）。
據報道，維多利亞州北部的康博斯比市政廳（Campaspe Shire Council）致信維多利亞州農業廳長布福德（Jaala Pulford），呼吁政府減輕乳制品生產商的經濟負擔。
康博斯比市市長威爾遜（Leigh Wilson）說，十年前旱災期間政府的減稅政策起了作用，類似的減稅政策也可以幫助奶農。維多利亞州北部產奶區的奶農們一直沒有得到他們需要的援助，一切幫助他們減輕經濟負擔的政策會非常受歡迎。
部分原文報道如下：
The Victorian Government has confirmed council rates relief for dairy farmers is an option it is considering, as it prepares to offer more support to the struggling sector.
The Campaspe Shire, in the state's north, has written to Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford to ask the Government to help ease the financial burden on dairy producers.
Many farmers are under pressure because of cuts made over recent weeks to the price they are being paid for milk.
