As our markets have been taken along that road we can add onto the bottom line $ benefit for farmers producers of all products.

One eg- If you look at Vegemite AFIC Australian Federation of Islamic Council get % on it. That adds up to a lot of $ which also puts the cost of food up for our pensioners. Thats just one & there are thousands of others.

We will work direct with the farmer on the land. *His farm of crop veggies stock will be accredited & the *grower will get % putting back into Australia agriculture.

This of course is a attack on at least some of the unfair tariffs we are up against. Its a start.

The reason I am raising Halal first is because of the world wide boom in Halal food demands. Much of our products go into making Halal food & its a multi trillion $ business growing rapidly.

Farmers & growers needs to realise if they are producing these products THEY are entitled to a % of that industry. atm they are missing out- while others get that extra $

Later of course we can again if they like set up Aussie companies ad sell shares- up to them.

The key to Corporate greed and climate change largely must be addressed by all of us and our country is our farmers.
We will never get changes unless we do it step by step.

Farming has been abused by all our governments. Growers dont trust government. They think they are all from another planet and they are.

We need heads of state who are from farming & many other backgrounds - not pencil pushers traveling overseas with huge egos.

Australia also needs ( Government) to grow a moral conscience to the rest of the world.

Do you have any idea how ill those people get in far off countries we ship live animals to. The enzymes levels in these stressed animals are very unhealthy to eat. These 3rd world countries dont know it but we educated do. Of course not to mention the anthrax in Australian soil. So we must value add starting with $ for growers and pushing more vegetables for our health and climate change however it must be done step by step.

We must do this not only for the benefit of Australia but our duty of care to all humans globally. There is a high % of mental health and other diseases we export live animals to. Corporate greed is allowed to flourish under corrupt governments.

Maybe - just maybe now the public are aware of climate change and the threat if we do not take steps to do something it might be enough for Australians to demand these changes required for Australia's economy and a bit of common decency as well.

From beef to beetroot etc. & once the costs of crops return a higher % than animals the farmers will be the ones pushing the climate change barrow & smiling all the way to their Aussie farmer owned banks.
Speaking of banks its very disappointing to see West pack and Suncorpe supporting live exports.

We need our banks supporting Aussie grown products and Aussie value adding.

*We have all become greedy, but corporations are much greedier.*

Rob, people who work for corporations are no different then people
in other spheres of life. Do you think that lawyers are not greedy
for instance? Some are, some are not, the world is made up of many
colours.

The thing is, what do you think would happen to the CEO of a major
corporation like a bank, if that bank earned far less then other
banks when benchmarked? The super funds would be baying for that
persons blood, they would lose their job. Why? Super fund managers
want their figures to look good, so that they can get a pay rise
themselves. For of course you the super fund customer can take
your money and go to another fund, if yours is not delivering
results. So its one big circle.

At the moment, one of the most profitable companies in the world
is Apple. They have over 50 billion$ cash in the bank. Why? Because
people love their products and are flocking to buy iphones and ipads,
in their tens of millions. So why should I condem Apple for giving
consumers what they clearly want?

This mantra about corporate greed is a furphy. The most profitable
thing for a company to do is cut out waste. The savings are huge.
Just look how Govt is run. Look at the waste. No need to compete
or be efficient, when you have the monopoly of a Govt dept. That
waste adds up to far more then any profits which you seem so concerned
about.

Kerryanne, thanx for your long clarification. I will respond shortly.

Hi Rob Canoe,
My,my,if you are new to The Forum, be well prepared my friend, to be shouted down by the masses who think that Tony Abbott far outstrips our Prime Minister.
I think that at least she is trying to do something,about climate change, since no-one in the Opposition seems to be serious about it....particularly the avid Supporters of Lord Abbott, so be prepared my friend, wear your virtual shield and virtual armour so that you can dodge the virtual pooh that will be slung at you. Good Luck.
I like your eloquent postings.

It seems we approach the problem on this post and thank you Rob Canoe.

Good Gov't is the one thing that no one is offering in our country today.

Why because power has shifted so far in the direction of corporate control of not just the environment, but also in control of the living standards of Australian working people.

I heard that China was lobbying against International collective agreements today in exactly the same way as Corporations argue for their banishment. Whether it be autocratic power or corporate power, the goals are the same.

Anything that provides power to the people is considered bad, by the powers that be.

The future is assured with market forces in control of the planet. You may as well kiss your arse goodbye now. They will never act in favour of the population, the animals, the vegetation, the air, the water, not while there is a buck to be made and no regulations to make them act in the public interest.

Political consensus is required to achieve this goal Rob Canoe, pure and simple. and legislate to have them stick that up their business model. Only good gov't and strong willed Gov't can save us now. As the media in Australia is a disgraceful joke, now lower than a used car salesman on the credibility scale, thanks to the meglo-mania that flourishes when the lack of regulations let the people down.

Bringing back Keating's visionary Cross Media Ownership Laws will solve that problem without any encroachments on journalistic freedom.
But dangerous Media concentration will be abolished properly as it should.
