ALL AUSTRALIAN FARMERS - Missing out on a BILLION DOLLAR Industry - WHY?

G'day Agmates,

****************************************
THE NFF IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
****************************************

Right now an industry larger than the ENTIRE VALUE per annum of AUSTRALIAN RURAL EXPORTS is being formulated.

The NATIONAL EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME (NETS) will be worth BILLIONS. It's staggering how much money is involved.

Farmers should be a MAJOR player in this market. With BILLIONS OF DOLLARS flowing into FARMERS pockets.

Farmers ARE NOT EVEN INVOLVED in the formulation / implementation of the NETS.

Every other powerful environmental (anti - farmer) and Industry group is a contributing stakeholder to the NETS. Lobbying for their industry / agenda.

Click on Blue links to see how hard the Aluminium,Business Council and Plantation Industries are lobbying. Click HERE and read about every Group EXCEPT FARMERS who are lobbying hard for their own interests.

The NETS will cause the greatest CHANGE TO AUSTRALIAN FARMING EVER SEEN in the history of AGRICULTURE in Australia.

It is not even on the National Farmers Federations Agenda. See a copy of the NFF agenda here for 2006 - 2009.

The NFF is (YOUR) AUSTRALIAN FARMERS LOBBY GROUP. "The voice of Australian farmers" Why arn't they at the table?

On this issue you have no voice. AUSTRALIAN FARMERS ARE TOTALLY UNREPRESENTED. Why, Why, Why ?


*******************************************
FARMERS WANT ANSWERS?
*******************************************

1. Why is this issue not on the NFF agenda. It should be top of the list and they should be SCREAMING BLUE MURDER.

2. Why has the Liberal / Nation Party SACRIFICED AUSTRALIAN FARMERS by stopping Land Clearing in NSW & QLD to meet their commitments to the Kyoto agreement?

3. Why have the State Agri-Political Associations been gaged on this issue?

4. Why has the rural press virtually ignored this issue, while continuing to run mostly feel good rural stories.

5. Why have we heard nothing from National senators Ron Boswell and Barnaby Joyce (the protectors of rural Australia) on this issue.



*******************************************
URGENT ACTION REQUIRED
*******************************************

1. What is URGENTLY needed is for the NFF to get in there BOOTS and ALL fighting the federal & state governments for AUSTRALIAN FARMERS INTERESTS on this issue.

2. AUSTRALIAN FARMERS as the 2nd biggest Carbon Emitting Industry (this is where farmers pay) while being custodians of the largest Carbon Sinks (this is where farmers can get paid) in Australia and NOW DEMAND that their voice be heard.


******************************************
WHAT YOU CAN DO AS A FARMER
BEFORE IT'S TO LATE
******************************************

1. "The voice of Australian Farmers" (the NFF) is mute on this issue. The voice of the AUSTRALIAN FARMERS State Agri-political Associations if audible at all is falling on DEAF EARS at the NFF.

2. But YOU as an individual FARMERS have a voice. IT"S TIME TO USE IT _ BEFORE IT"S TO LATE.


*****************************************
USE YOUR VOICE NOW - THERE IS 120,000 OF
YOU, PLUS YOUR SUPPORTERS.
*****************************************

1. Email Agmates now at steve@agmates.com - just write - I'm a FARMER, don't sacrifice me for the "National Good". (Agmates will publish each and every farmers name, like a petition, so that the world, politicans, Agri-Politicans and Canberra Lobby groups can see AUSTRALIAN FARMERS WANT ACTION)

2. Email or call 5 other Farmers and get them to do the same.

THEN IF YOU CARE ENOUGH -(you can't leave this to anybody else)

3. Email or call you local Agri-political representative and ask him - What "THE HELL THEY ARE DOING to get Australian Farmers into the decision making process. Nothing less than the NFF representing AUSTRALIAN FARMERS as a stakeholder in the formation of the NETS will do.

4. Email or phone your local Member of Parliament, both State and Federal and tell them you want some action.

5. Write or email your state RURAL NEWSPAPER and Ask why they arn't covering this issue.

*******************************************
TAKE ACTION NOW OR LIVE
WITH THE CONSEQUENCES FOREVER - BUT YOU
MUST ACT NOW - BEFORE IT's TO LATE
******************************************

THE BALLS NOW IN YOUR COURT

Agmates has given you the chance to be heard. Take it or take whats dished up to you in the near future.

You can't rely on the government looking after your interests - look what they have done to you on LAND CLEARING, "in the NATIONAL INTEREST".

Cheers,

Your Agmate - Steve
