RALLY IN CANBERRA

27 July 2012 

NSW Farmers

Victorian Farmers Federation

Murray Group of Concerned Communities

NSW Irrigators Council

Barnaby Joyce

A very good day to you all,

I have just read the latest article in the The Land newspaper in regard to NSW Farmers’ stance on the Murray Darling Basin plan and that all amendments must be passed, I wholeheartedly agree with this.

I strongly urge everyone to adopt the same stance as NSW Farmers if you have not already done so.

We only have this one single opportunity to get the Murray Darling Basin plan right for our future generations.

It is absolutely pointless discussing future food production goals without having a common sense basin plan in place, because the basin feeds in excess of 40 million people 365 days per year.

Unfortunately for us while we are trying to decide on this most important plan we have an extremely unstable federal government that is very left and green biased, who seem not to be able to make common sense decisions.

WE MUST FIGHT, WE MUST FIGHT HARD, WE MUST FIGHT WITH DETERMINATION

I have been saying for some months now we need a rally in Canberra, Griffith did an enormous job in hosting theirs and must be fully congratulated.

We are all doing our utmost to try and bring some level headedness in to this whole process, what we need to ask ourselves: Is it enough?

If you like me come up with a no, then it is time to look at a march on Canberra.

The Consumers and Taxpayers Association are conducting a rally on the 22^nd of August and we are all invited.

Yours Faithfully,

Peter Gilmour
