@PhillipCoorey We know this because of a Bad Samaritan. No humanity merely self interest.

@bogandillan Better frogs than cane toads! Why complain. Most look like they're dead :(

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@samanthamaiden If it's the truth: NO!

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@samanthamaiden @newscomauHQ Jenny Morrison was spot on. Some may not like it. Manners are important - a more fruitful way of making your point. Ms Tame's honour came from reforming an arcane Tasmanian law. Reform/change comes from addressing where reform is needed. Keep to the point

@AdamCoffeyNT @roseycatherine @MattBrannRURAL @NTCattlemen @troysetter @sokitomi @cattlecouncilau @NTFarmers @AustAgCo How does this enhance biodiversity? Fill the pastures and watering points with cane toads?

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@MattBrannRURAL @NTCattlemen @troysetter @sokitomi @cattlecouncilau @NTFarmers @AustAgCo @AdamCoffeyNT I think that the community ie consumers will become more demanding about the environmental credentials of all food producing sectors. Banks too will increasing want borrowers to have 'environmental plans'.

@ABCRural I think visa ag visa workers ought only be available to farmers signed up to the Government Funders Fair Farms Program. So as to avoid exploitation. #ruraljobs #fairfarms #horticulture #agriculture #jobseekers

@MichaelS_Guerin @AgForceQLD @qclnews The cost of changing your labels to accurately 'truth-in-labelling' is a cost of your incorrect assumption by labelling your product 'meat' when clearly it is not! Like mock turtle soup in Alice in Wonderland!!! #Meat #Truth #Facts #Honesty #agriculture

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@ABCRural Get the baits out. They were on an ABC program a week or so ago. The sooner we reduce feral pig numbers the safer will be our bio-security.

@HortTake @bananagrowers Every producer must tell their story. Build a website. It's just so important in this era of naysayers. You really wonder what some of them eat to stay alive. Show your brilliance! #farming #horticulture #jobseekers #JobSearch

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@MichaelS_Guerin @qclnews @NationalFarmers The issue of truth-in-labelling was an issue at NSW Farmers' Association >20 years ago. Water-added extracts aren't 'milk'; plant proteins aren't meat.
These substitutes should be challenged under Australian Consumer Law as deceptive & misleading conduct.

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@MichaelS_Guerin @qclnews @AgForceQLD @SenMcDonald Truth-in-labelling is a vexed issue never fully addressed by government. Milk is a mammalian secretion - not some protein water added extract. A plastic container containing pork cannot be labelled 'made from local & imported ingredients'

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@MichaelS_Guerin @qclnews My experience of dealing with Bank Australia was when I was living on a farm. They claimed I was in breach of my loan agreement. I asked them to produce it & state which part; the produced their proforma agreement that I'd never signed. They couldn't produce any document I signed

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@stockandland It was all in a 2015 White Paper. Read it and do your research: Office of Northern Australia (2015). Our North, Our Future: White Paper on Developing Northern Australia. Canberra, ACT. Not all people are suited to farm work this work assists rural and regional communities.

@timothycjames @TroyBramston Menzies was also a pall bearer at Chifley's funeral and may have even spoken at it.

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@ABCRural Also Madura Tea is another home grown product. Grown on the northern rivers area of NSW. You can buy it in supermarkets. It's a pretty good brew.

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@BossberryRachel @FairFarmsAus @growcom @fairwork_gov_au Why don't you promote it?

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@MattBrannRURAL @abclandline @ABCRural Seems unusual that new plaintiffs can add themselves to the action post the judgment. If they weren't a party in the original action why can they get on the titty bottle now? Great piece of rent seeking. It devalues the basis of litigation. Do they have to prove actual loss?

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

@ABCRural Best he go no where!!! He's been fined squillions in NSW for his environmental damage by illegal tree clearing. The only value in this story is to tell us that he'll damage more land and plunder more of the soil's wealth. #environment #plunderer #climatechange

[Geoff Quinn @GeoffQuinn2]

I'm an environmentalist also a realist. Farming must be more environmentally accountable. We all have a role to play. The most important is to realise that working with biodiversity will enhance productivity. This should be our response.
