An urgent message for all Farmers, ex-Farmers, their Families, their Friends, their Politicians and their Media in all Australian states and in other countries:
Greens have declared war on cattle farmers and graziers and on real meat and milk using their endless global warming lies.
The Saltbush Club wants to see a tidal wave of protest from farmers, families and friends to politicians and the media. We ask everyone who sees this to on-send the Saltbush link widely to at least 10 others, and so on.
The Green/ALP/ABC axis has already used the same discredited climate scare stories to strangle coal miners, explorers and electricity generators in Red-Green Tape. That was easy as most coal miners are concentrated in a few electorates and they have few friends in the leafy green suburbs.
But farmers are different – there are many of them in most electorates and they have friends and family in the cities. (One powerful trade unionist once had a sign on his white-board that said “Don’t Fight Farmers”.)
Sadly no farmer can rely on help, climate truth or good science from industry organisations like the National Farmers Federation or once-trusted media such as the ABC or Fairfax. They all sing in the green climate-alarm choir these days. Even big retailers will happily promote Fake Meat and Fake Milk. If plant-based margarine cannot be labelled as “butter” why is an artificial product manufactured mainly from legumes and additives allowed to use the word “meat”, or a product made from soybeans or oats allowed to be called ‘milk”?
Please send a link to this post to every contact you have, especially farmers and their friends. Send to individuals, media and politicians – send by email, snail mail and post on blogs and every social media.

Australians must not allow their chief source of independence, security and serenity to be subverted by the big food organisations. Efficient local farms are vital, and they protect us when transport is costly. The international food companies capture Australia’s farmlands then export the food. This causes local scarcities and inflation. We may have, for example, meat processing facilities nearby but if all of the product is sent overseas then local prices for that scarce product will increase, especially when the income from the sale returns locally to increase demand – export instigated inflation. Governments enslave us to foreign debt then promote the exporting and depletion of our resources to repay the debts. The international firms have no loyalty to us. Farmers want their lifestyle and the satisfactions of success. Support our own loyal producers first. Support them when they add value to their products. Our wealth depends on the wealth of our primary producers.
