Sticky situation

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: The Federated Farmers rural advocacy hub at Fieldays has been touted as a great success.

However, not every visitor to the site was left impressed.

One social media post referred to the language and sentiment towards sustainability, and included a photo of car stickers stating, ‘Quit Paris’ – obviously from farmer group Groundswell.

The sticky posting attracted one quick rebuttal from a media company which stated that ‘those stickers were from one group in particular in the advocacy hub, not necessarily a reflection on the rest of the groups represented’.

Some farmers would be wondering where the hub actually stands on the Paris Agreement.
