In her valedictory speech, Fiona Simson, the outgoing president of the National Farmers Federation (NFF), emphasizes the need for unity and change in Australian agriculture. She criticizes divisive rhetoric and highlights the importance of embracing new ideas and addressing climate change.
Simson would rather Australia walk away from a ‘dud’ trade deal with the EU than sign something that could damage farmers for a generation.Simson would rather Australia walk away from a ‘dud’ trade deal with the EU than sign something that could damage farmers for a generation.Last modified on Wed 25 Oct 2023 12.
Simson went on to say that the bush was changing and that farmers weren’t conservative because “any successful farmer embraces change and embraces new ideas”.The coffee strength may have changed in the bush but the politics remain firmly in the conservative camp as evidenced by any federal electoral map.It is true that Simson was one of the first high-profile farm leaders on the national stage to acknowledge climate change science.
It is worth taking stock of this indisputable fact because, just halfway through the Albanese government’s term of office, the NFF rhetoric has been steadily ramping up against Labor.
