Raw Mustard says; Would you stand by while they demolished your home to widen a road without compensation. Isn't this the same thing?

So are any of you going to answer this, or, as I susspect, you can't so you will simply aviod the question as is often the case.

I see tennents kicking and screeming and they are only being asked to pay a reasonable rent, or leave.

I would hate to see their reaction if they owned the place.

Rechtub hope you are having a great Christmas I am.
Do you bloke understand almost every word I and some other have posted here answers your question?
Can you understand the red neck mob, your side of the debate, Abbott and the fantasy club, SCREAMED ABOUT a new tax?
To compensate farmers for not being able to clear fell their land would be far more than double that tax.
Is that clear?
Can you understand growing trees as a carbon sink, could give farmers a cash crop, a good income, maybe a great one.
But not the ETS, National party fools, the same ones backing this man, say NO TREES, we need the land for food growth.
rechtub some land is only of use for trees, most farmers long ago stopped clear felling, many grow wind blocks and shelter trees willingly.
Lost in a world of their own, your fellow travelers are intent on not understanding issues on blackmailing governments and nor knowing what side the toast is buttered on.
Hope you have some insight into the issue now.

Totally sinister and corrupt that just about sums it up Arjay.
Just a note to the author I am having difficulty getting the links to work other than by copying the link into a new browser and searching it.
No biggy but just thought I would mention it. Probably due to my security I suppose?

In 2007, the Australian voters voted for Rudd who kept saying, "I have a plan", yet he never revealed this plan. To this very day, Rudd keeps saying that he has a plan and never revealing anything.

What have we seen from the Rudd Government in their 2 years of power?

* Internet Censorship because we are too stupid to decide for ourselves.
* Kyoto Agreement robbing all farms of a living.
* Looking away are rich soil food producers are destroyed by mining.
* Massive debts with nothing to show for it but increasing mortgage rates.
* Not allowing any Member of Federal Parliament from sending any comments from their office which criticises the Rudd Government.

Yes people, you voted for a dictator who craves to tell you how to wipe your bottom and blow your nose. Will the average Australian voter wake up? I hope so!

So when Australia no longer grows her own food, will you jump for Chinese produce that was banned in America due to being laced with drugs or chemicals?

Er, Spider. I'm quite sure that Australia can grow its own food needs on land that's already cleared. The problem is in trying to carry the 19th century model of earning export dollars from unsustainable agriculture into the 21st century and beyond.

The days of Australia ridng on the sheep's back are well and truly over, ditto with broadacre cropping. While these agricultural activities can be sustainable ecologically in meeting domestic demand, to continue to try and earn substantial export dollars out of them is environmental lunacy.

Australia needs to come up with a new economic plan - the old model has reached its use-by date.
