Like every year 12 student before you, this marks the end of your formal school education.

After this, you may decide to study a university degree, learn a trade, study a vocational qualification, start a business or get a job.

There is no single pathway to success in life and you may find that life takes you down many different paths.

COVID-19 has presented additional challenges and it has taken a lot from your final year of schooling.

It may not feel like it now, but the challenges of 2020 have made you more resilient, stronger, self-motivated and adaptable.

These will be useful qualities for the rest of your life.

So to the Class of 2020, good luck with your final exams and beyond.

Agriculture

For a century, The Nationals have been a strong voice for regional Australia and stood up for agriculture. It's in our DNA.

The Liberal and Nationals government is investing $328 million to grow our food and fibre exports as part of our Economic Recovery Plan for Australia and our commitment to supporting the farm sector's goal to become a $100 billion industry by 2030.

This includes: *$222.2 million over four years for digital services to take farmers to market. This will help farmers do business quickly and cost effectively - a single touch-point for exporters that is available 24/7.

*$10.9 million over three years for building a more competitive export meat industry and working to streamline export and production costs to remain competitive.

*$10 million over four years for streamlining border clearances by reducing manual processes and improving service times and cost savings for exporters.

Supporting senior Australians

Age pensioners will receive an additional $250 payment in December and another $250 payment in March from the federal government.

And, another 23,000 home care packages will be provided, for a total of more than 180,000 places; three times the number available when this government took office in 2013.
