Charleville beef farmer Dan Macdonald has recently been convicted and fined $112,000 for using his land and property assets (mulga scrub) to feed his drought-stricken beef herd. In our chat in his family kitchen I learned how damn difficult it is to be a farmer today in Australia because government regulation and UN treaties are controlling every farming input and decision, making farming unsustainable and unprofitable.
Dan explains clearly how farmers are being prevented from earning a living as a result of federal and state politicians putting their obedience to the UN’s rules-based international order ahead of basic Australian rights and freedoms. We call for farmers to either be compensated in just terms for the theft of property rights or have their full legislated property rights restored.
Every Australian can feel very worried about government theft of property rights – farmers, coastal residents, and increasingly urban residents across Australia. Our country’s key issue is atrocious governance.
