Protagaras. How did the land become arable in the first place. Trees were cut down, the land was ploughed and then agriculture occurred. If we want to take away from Australia the small amount of farmland that we have and return it all to nature as you seem to promote in a lot of your posts, then where do we get our food supply from. Overseas I suppose you will say. Well no matter where you get the food from you have to have the arable land to do this. So to want to persecute the farmers to a point where they give up farming because of all the legislation that attempts to destroy the industry is totally UnAustralian. To send our agriculture industry overseas as we have done with all our other industries is playing into the hands of the New World Order. There is plenty of proof that the New World Order is on the agenda of many powerful people. Do some googling you fool.

Australia is a trading country that feeds 55 million people. For the sake of sustainability and the remediation of these arid lands, we need to reduce that number by trading in less eco-destructive commodities and thus ensuring our self-sufficiency.

Please read more and try to keep up.

There are a number of supporters of Peter Spencer who support violence as a method of assisting to deal with this situation - check out some of the comments on the agmates discussion site regarding same. I would encourage people not to support this type of conflict resolution, if these adults are behaving this way, as seen on channel 7 the other night - bashing the car of a politician who at least bothered to go to the property and discuss the issue with the protesters, then what resolution can there be? What do they want? to beat all the pollies up? What sort of moral code is this? Stay away from the supporters, don't get too close to them physically, or you may end up in the firing/punching line if you happen to verbalise a different view or suggest another way.
They look and act like a dangerous bunch of people to me

Coming from the country, and also over the past 30 years I have travelled extensively throughout Western NSW, Southern Qld, Vic and SA I am absolutely amazed by the extent of the damage done to this country by the miss-use and land abuse done by some farmers. Most have done this out of ignorance, but now, this is no excuse.

Frankly, my concern is not for us, here and now, but for the future of my grandson Joshua; that he may still be able to enjoy the view of a Ghost Gum, a wattle and the beautiful wild flowers that define Australia as a unique gift.
