ABOUT THIS BLOG

With a long family history that goes back many generations in this area it pains me to see the impact that government neglect is having on our area. The two major parties are simply not up to the job anymore. I can no longer sit back and watch this happen and have decided to run for the state seat of Cairns.

It is time we had a voice in parliament again, not puppets of faceless party machines from Canberra. By posting media releases on this blog the people of Cairns can determine if we have policies and concepts that they agree with.

I ask you to join me in ensuring that Cairns and Far North Queensland gets a fair go.

MILK PRICE UPDATE

Here is the latest update on the impacts of supermarket pricing on unbranded milk. Remember this is occurring because of pricing on unbranded milk. The chains claim they are doing it for their customers. If that is true, what is the difference in changing your strategy and putting that price on your branded milk?

The ADF claims modelling will lead to a 2c/litre drop in farmgate price.
They also said in relation to the sustained practice on unbranded milk that-
“For the vast majority of northern NSW and QLD dairy farmers this would result in the loss of any profit margin on their milk,” Mr Griffin said.

This is going to cost FNQ farms. This is going to cost FNQ jobs. This is going to cost the FNQ economy.
