The federal government is developing local projects to help drought-affected regions in NSW and Queensland.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says there is no easy answer to the drought problem, but insists he is working on a solution and the "best way forward" with MPs whose electorates have been badly affected.
"I agreed that we would work on some local projects that would be important signs of faith by our country in these parts of Australia," he told Macquarie Radio on Thursday.
