Farmers and supporters across Australia will be making a stand in Canberra
- Written by David Jochinke President National Farmers’ Federation
As a farmer, and President of the National Farmers’ Federation, I’m extremely worried by the growing number of decisions being made in Canberra that aren’t about what’s best for farming.
It feels like we’re being drowned out by interest groups who don’t understand or support farmers, instead choosing to tell a negative story about who we are and what we do.
Whether it’s banning live sheep exports, water buybacks, new taxes and red tape, or destroying productive agricultural land – these policies are not only hurting farmers but rural communities.
That’s why I need your help.
In just one week, farmers from across Australia will meet outside Parliament House in Canberra to send a united message.
We want to tell all parliamentarians ahead of the next election that they should listen to farmers, not anti-farming activists, when it comes to what’s best for our industry.
It’s our chance to come together and send a clear and positive message that we deserve a seat at the table, and we deserve a fair go.
I hope you’ll join me as we come together to celebrate the positive story of Aussie farming in the heart of Canberra.
See you there.
