One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson says "it is ridiculous" that Australian consumers" pay more for water than what we do for milk". Labor will vote with One Nation to bring on a debate for Pauline Hanson’s dairy industry bill that would see the ACCC set a minimum farmgate price.
"I want a farmgate price for the farmers to get a viable industry," Ms Hanson told Sky News host Paul Murray. Ms Hanson said the dairy farming industry in Australia will be "decimated" if her bill doesn't receive adequate support in parliament. "We will be importing milk from New Zealand or China or somewhere else". Image: News Corp Australia
Humans don't really need to drink milk. The sooner the cattle industry is gone the better the planet will be.
Legislate and stop the political mumbo jumbo. Sick of politicians grand standing and then doing nothing. Katter, Hanson, greens and Labor all tell us what should happen. They have the power but do nothing
This hypocritical deceitful grub has supported the LNP both state and federal allowing wholesalers and processors to rob dairy farmers blind. she has supported the LNP after years of neglect mismanagement and failures on water policy in their “JUST SELL YOUR FARMS” solution
Whinging again Hanson
No to price fixing. Yes to tax-free status for farmers.
Bullshit
MRobertsQLD If you want to double milk prices, prepare for slump in sales. Milk is great for new born calf’s but is not needed in vast quantities by the population. The milk companies have some of the largest marketing budgets, to convince us we need to drink huge quantities of milk
We don't though...
MRobertsQLD Be careful what you wish for, Asian and African nations basically consume very little milk on a daily basis, milk is hard to digest and not the best source of calcium, you could cut back on milk by 95% and have zero health impacts
Price check: Water in WA is a bargain then at 0.15c per litre...
Yes and I bet the supermarkets make more on milk than they do on water.
