Well team🐑....thank goodness we have the top of the food chain👨🏼‍💼addressing this💦🌏for Ag.
So you would think the parliamentary inquiry into growing Ag by $100 billion by 2030 would mention climate change and water. Quietly released last month, and chaired by WA’s own member for O’Connor, Rick Wilson. Climate change and water were not mentioned in any of the 13 recommendations, nor the chairs report. Despite many submissions (Agzero2030 included) stating cc was the No. 1 priority.
To read the report in detail, go to parlinfo.aph.gov.au ➡️search ‘Growing Australia’.

Interestingly, the deputy chairs dissenting report stated ‘The absence of the chairs forward of any mention of climate change is in our opinion an error that fails to recognise the gravity that cc poses to Aus Ag. A number of well credentialed witnesses including NFF, CSIRO, TFGA, FCA, MLA amongst others expressed the view that climate change represents the most significant, or single most significant threat to Aus Ag meeting its $100B goal’.

So despite many shires in Mr Wilson’s own electorate running into another year of being drought declared and carting water again this summer. And despite farmers doing their best to adapt (note photos of very large dams being built and catchments cleaned and upgraded to catch the water that hasn’t come yet). Water and Climate change are not worth investing in to build Ag. Have your say to Mr Wilson via his Facebook page.
Photos taken 22/1/21 in Corrigin. Lambs will sold next week (early) due to lack of water. #climatechange #farming #carbonneutral #water #drought ...

Nuytsia floribunda....The Australian Christmas tree....still flowering on the south coast, finished in the wheatbelt. Rarely do we see such healthy specimens as here, surrounded by other family members. They are generally solo and anaemic in the wheatbelt. Brilliance in the most gutless of white sands #2030reasons ...
