Animal Rights Campaign forces NFF to review its operations

Agmates Editor - Steve TrumanAgmates editor Steve Truman writes:

The National Farmers Federation (NFF) admitted today that it may need to change the way it operates, to counteract animal rights groups ongoing anti-farmer campaigns like the ones being waged against mulesing sheep and live export. Click Here to read that story.

It appears that the NFF has been a little distracted by the loss of it’s South Australian and Western Australian State members. Difficult to call yourself “National Farmers” when you don’t represent farmers across the nation, there were still a few farmers left in SA & WA last time I checked.

Can anybody tell us what the NFF has been doing to counteract the campaigns against Live Export, Mulesing, the abolition of the Wheat single desk, the banning of Gamba grass in Northern Australia etc. etc. etc?

Have your say!

Does the NFF work as an effective National farm lobby group for the majority of Australian farmers? Click on the Blue Comments below to tell us what you think.

Why would’nt NFF lose members ( No Family Farms ) Same as the turkeys removing single desk, and importing subsidised products. We just have to get used to it. I might move to Zimbabwee, seems to be more democratic.
