Save the Family Farm from the March of Penny Wong’s Forests
Michael Kiely
Government Climate Change policies will depopulate the bush and corporatise agriculture.
The city investor gets a tax break to buy up family farms from struggling farmers and plant
forests as carbon sinks. The family farmer is told they will be slugged with a ‘tax’ for their
emissions from stock (methane), fertilisers (nitrous oxide) and fuels (carbon dioxide), and at
the same time, denied the right to trade the carbon they can capture in their soils.
