Farmers to march on Canberra

“We need good decisions out of Canberra that support the farmers who quite literally feed and clothe our nation, and this rally is our chance to show politicians and policymakers that farmers will not stand by while they ignore facts and science to comply with the theories of anti-farming activists,” Mr Martin said.

“The water, land and workers needed to grow our food is being taken away by bad decisions, and we need to act now to keep our farmers farming before our food security is thrown into real jeopardy.”

The national rally will focus on key issues such as the proposed double tax on farmers for biosecurity, the impacts of the renewable energy transition on rural communities, the draining of fresh water out of Basin communities into the ocean, and the ban on live sheep exports by sea.

Mr Martin urged everyone to show their support for the agricultural industry by attending the rally and calling on federal parliamentarians to reverse their anti-farming policies.

“We hope to see farmers turn out in their thousands this September 10 so we can ensure every Aussie family has food on their table, and clothes on their backs.”
