Animals are part of nature and Africa has millions of wilderbeasts that are farting methane too but we wont be doing anything about that will we?
Farmers are an easy target by the govt and is purely for political gains to attract these uneducated voters who think its meaningful.
I would hate to think what these green ultra left wing nutjobs would do if they had free reign on this country, its scary!
Fact - growing veges is more damaging to soil than farming beef. Soil gets dug up and all the grass removed, then you still apply all the nitrates with synthetic fertilizer. Any organic grower will tell you to cover the soil.
We should be forcing vege growers to use regenerative methods too and require them to apply mulch.
All this BS about veges being better for the environment is crap.
The fact is this govt doesnt give a shit about the environment or else if they did, they would be banning palm oil and products containing palm oil, unless its from a sustainable operation that is verified to not be contributing to de-forestation.
We should be banning all these cheap crappy chinese imports that you get at K-Mart at the same time and be producing our own goods like in the old days where we didnt need to pay for shipping (in turn burning carbon) all this junk from china that just fills up our chinese owned landfills.
Dont get me started.
Exactly.
We already have farmers planting pines for the stress free income. If all the farmers go away we will be importing even more food than we do now. That we import anything we can grow is ridiculous. People need to look at the bigger picture and let us be as self-sufficient as we can. Not force our primary producers out of business.
Yes, we need to deal with emissions, but cut the farmers some slack. They are our most important industry and many are already doing everything they can to reduce their environmental impact. It's the usual crap from Labour to hit the good with a sledgehammer to try and influence those who won't toe the line.
