Yabby,

I believe Mr Branko left a comment for you on olo + one of his export sites.
Also there are plenty of people with Ausmeat certs around .
What many offshore companies do is send 2 staff to do the course.

That is five & and half G for a week. None of those orders came off the net they are all direct through contacting af.

Your an fool Yabby call Sharon at the Victoria Ausmeat course..

I actually do have two going quite soon. HOWEVER we dont normally

have to bother because others have full requirements.

The last thing i will do is post the course AND cost on here so people can see what a liar you are yabby - then that it!
I have already said there is NO NEED for farmers to do the ausmeat course.

Right now call Sharron on Monday its 11 thousand for two people.
Yes your right its a joke 99% come over from their companies dont speak English- Its a requirement of law nothing more.
Also you would be crazy to let someone try to run it without lots of hands on experience. Anyway I have had enough of wasting my time.

You do your thing- i will do mine and dont bother posting to me

Wel Gertrude, if under your claimed system farmers don't need to
do the course, then farmers are not the exporters. They are just
flogging you livestock, like any other deal that farmers do, of
flogging livestock to a buyer.

No big deal, it happens every day. Your nearest saleyard has
thousands for sale and agents guarantee that buyers money is
good, so that farmers know that they will get paid.

Yabby,

I warn you I am not in a good mood. I had enough from in my strong opinion a lunatic @ now in the AFIC office ok, so back off.!
If this bloody Government doesn’t do something about these so called peak Muslim leaders causing trouble.
.
Now what’s your problem this time: I don’t do business – or give our private programme over a forum!

I have more on my mind than this- Your just fishing for info. If you had been interested you would have made proper inquiries before this.
You might have nothing else to do – but I have!

*Well Gertrude, if under your claimed system farmers don't need to
do the course, then farmers are not the exporters*

Well Yabby- it goes like this- if they want to they can-but-
many farmers does it take to change a light bulb?

Do we need *every farmer to hold a export licence to ship some meat- ?

Or do we just need the farmers to talk to the buyers and work it out between *themselves .?

Unlike your mob we treat farmers as adults able to make their *own choices. If they want to be farmers producers exporters good..
Some wont. Some Will. Some will only want to sell stock at a stable better prise.. That Is up to them to discuss direct with delegates from Saudi ,Iran or wherever they are from - not me or you.

Its not set in stone . Stop treating farmers like basket cases. Stop trying to control them.

Maybe they will decide to form co-ops and two out of twenty *will want to do they course.-
BUT they don’t have to – which was your first *bitch.

If you were as knowledgeable as you make out you would *know foreign companies send their blokes to do the course JUST to hold a export license.

We have plenty of export licenses to sign people up as a second person for that matter. Its not the problem.

The difference is these buyers are not selling- the meat- they are *not middle men. They are the buyers for their respective companies to feed people.

*They are just flogging you livestock, like any other deal that farmers do, of
flogging livestock to a buyer.*

If that’s *all they want that’s ok too- with no middle man selling direct- they still win.
OR they can pay for their *own transport and send them to yards. Their choice not ours.

I am offended by your comment they might not get paid- Our President was Mr Howards advisor for ten years and deeply honorable.

Wonderful human being * actually in WA but that is all you have in common.

Now Yabby, I know you think your being clever & fishing for the industry- but pls know in a few weeks our new web site will be up.
As I said, I dont do business on the net.
Anyway - your just full of it.

Where is your knitting.

LOL Gertrude, frankly I don't care what you do. But if you make
claims on OLO, as an informed skeptic who knows something about the
livestock and meat industries, I will shoot holes in your claims
if there are holes, as I do with other subjects that I discuss on
OLO.

I have pointed out a fact, every exporter needs Ausmeat accreditation
or they are not the exporter, somebody else is. That is the law.
Find ways around the law, but that fact will not change.

If you really want to get this thing up and running, take some advice
from the large corporations and how they do things with overseas
markets. They make sure that buyers have large amounts of skin
in the game, so that if the going gets rough, the buyers have something to lose and local investors are not left holding the baby.

If the Arabs really want to buy that tough beef from the stations
up north and want some food security, it is easily within their
financial capacity to invest 50-100 million$ in a couple of abattoirs.
You can then buy all the cattle that you wish, as long as you pay
as much as other markets pay.

Don't expect farmers or pastoralists to do it. They have enough
skin in the game, investing in their properties. Besides, most
are mortgaged to the roof anyhow.
