Michael Darby (pictured) writes: (Opinion)
We have seen and heard and read a rising tide of publicity drawing attention to a global food shortage. There have been predictable calls for wealthy nations including Australia to make even larger cash donations towards feeding the hungry.
I am a former primary producer and former army officer and have visited 53 countries including some of the poorest on earth. I believe that donations provide no permanent solution.
My proposal is that Australia should set an example to the rest of the world with wise policies which will genuinely help in feeding the hungry. Let’s start with abolishing taxation on incomes derived from primary production. For the full explanation of the reasoning behind this please visit http://michaeldarby.net/Feeding.pdf
