MORE than 1000 people have registered for tomorrow’s National Farmer Rally in Canberra, protesting a series of anti-farming policies set for the industry in recent times.
Both sides of politics have been invited to speak at the rally, with Nationals MPs announcing their support for the movement.
Run by the National Farmers’ Federation, the rally is slated for next Tuesday with 60 trucks and 1200 primary producers and others from as far distant as Western Australia and the Northern Territory officially registering. Organisers say there could be significantly more people who have not officially registered.
The rally has been organised in two parts:
- A truck rally, which will start at Goulburn at 6:30am and Yass at 7am is expected to come together and drive down the main street of Canberra and past Parliament House.
- A rally on the lawn outside of parliament, which will hear multiple speeches.
Organisers of the rally say it is about giving the industry a voice in a political environment that is clearly not listening.
The organisers also say it is a peaceful protest where people who go outside “acceptable social standards” will be asked to leave – that includes bringing livestock to Parliament House.
The NFF says it has seven primary concerns:
- The activist-led ban on live sheep exports by sea
- Calls to scrap the Diesel Fuel Rebate
- Proposed new taxes for biosecurity and on superannuation
- Calls to scrap the 88 days of specified work for backpackers
- Water buybacks in the Murray Darling Basin and protecting the Great Artesian Basin
- Unnecessary red tape from Scope 3 emissions reporting
- The community impacts of energy and renewables developments\
Nationals announce support for rally
Leader of The Nationals David Littleproud said the party will stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” with farmers at the rally.
“The Nationals 100 per cent support our farmers attending the National Farmer Rally outside Canberra Parliament House,” Mr Littleproud said.
“This Labor Government has decimated our farming and agriculture industry. It has been over 40 years since farmers last felt so aggrieved to protest against a government.
“It’s easy to understand why our farmers are fed up, after being constantly attacked by Labor and its anti-farming policies, from water buybacks to reckless renewables and its senseless phase out of our live sheep export trade.”
Time for us all to stop hiding, open our eyes and “Wake Up” to the current worldwide, insane, “Elite” agendas driving global and local politics … and consequent agendas, policies and decisions here in Australia!!!
No Farmers, No Food !!!
No Food … then we have an artificially created food crisis, potential social unrest, breakdown of civil society and anarchy.
That simple folks!!!
We can prevent this if we join together in very large numbers … hundreds of thousands and millions of Australians, joined together as one voice … is what’s required now … not just a handful of passionate, patriotic farmers gathering on the lawn of Parliament Houst in Canberra. The “Activists” pushing the current agendas have hundreds of thousands in their camp!!!
So time for Farmers to stand up and be heard … before it’s too late!
We hold the power, “We the People!!!”, not the supposedly elected Governments and politicians, “officials”, public servants, police officers or rather “policy officers” and all those that are supposed to SERVE US, … “We, The People” !!! … including Farmers!!!
Unfortunately, all these “Public Servants” have become “out of control dictators” and puppets for the Global “Elite”, controlling agendas … designed to eliminate us and further control and enslave us!!!
All the basics of “survival” and living are their targets and they will do anything to achieve their aims and goals, including paying and gathering and rallying “influencers”, “activists” and the like:
eg
– food and fibre (soil, seeds, agricultural chemicals and fertilisers, meat, fruit and veggies, fibre, etc);
– water;
– air;
– in fact, all “natural resources” that belong to all Australians – including land, energy, minerals, gas, water, air, etc
– energy (power, electricity, forms of energy, etc);
– housing/shelter (land, farm and home ownership);
– health (big pharma, etc)
– etc, etc
Let’s Take Back Our Power Australia !!!
In Gratitude … for all Aussies and farmers standing up at this rally and for taking action each and every day with all their daily choices,
