Barnaby Joyce said that they got it all wrong on CSG. Some farmers were only offered a case of beer, for land access or only offered 1%, whereas in Texas the farmer gets 25%! Also, the community should benefit with upgraded roads, schools and hospitals etc.
The Greens and LTG would be running for cover, if the farmers were compensated correctly.
Most farmers are struggling and deserve a helping hand. They are the backbone of this country. Without them, we would be importing inferior food, from other countries. There are strict guidelines and regulations for our farmers, yet very little produce is checked, that comes into the c ountry. We will end up dying from DDT and hepatitis contaminations.
As seen on Sunday Night channel 7 last night. Struggling farmers losing their farms, suicides, and bus loads of cashed up Chinese, buying up farms, in Australia, only to secure food for the motherland 'China'.
The 3 levels of Govt have blood on their hands. Wake up. We have wasted so much time.
Greece is in a mess. They knew from the 80's, they had to make tough decisions, but they continued to live beyond their means, kicking the can down the road, not making the hard, belt tightening decisions, as they were more interested in winning elections, rather than doing budget repairs. They have buckleys of ever getting out of that hole. And Australia, with its ageing population and in need of budget repair, will head down the same way, if they continue to pander to minority groups.
