We recently had the Babinda sugar mill close up here which has had huge impacts on jobs in the area, the future training of local apprenticeships and the impact on the township of Babinda losing such a big employer of locals.
How many more sugar jobs, farmers and local communities are going to be impacted by the latests decision by Europe to breach their WTO commitments for a second time in two years, flooding the market with their subsidised glut of sugar which will drive prices down due over supply.
Meanwhile Australia playing by the rules and depending on market price gets shafted as price plummets because we follow the rules.
Why is the European Commission not happy with destroying their own economies is now trying to do it to others like Australia?
Not good enough and where's how hopeless govt. making a stand and demanding action be taken for these breaches?
