Ann: Trading Update and Sale of Port Melbourne Site, page-10

Excellent information.

I'd prefer the 'dead hand of government' didn't introduce more subsidies but I see and hear your points.

I worked (in an unrelated job) 30 years ago in a prime Victorian dairying area and even then, some complained about the harsh lifestyle of rising early and essentially being tied down to a strict schedule.

It's a worrying scenario you paint, but I'd be certain it has more than the proverbial grain of truth. I hope the bright minds in the subsector can come up with ideas - copying yours, or designing something else that's attractive to 'potential young players.'

With children of a certain age, one of whom shows signs of being 'entitled' even though he has a well-paying 'office job', I broadly concur with Rick19's comments.
