Rural Lobby Groups Seek Clear Election Positions On Farming And Emissions
Centre right parties are backing policy positions pushed by three farmer lobby groups ahead of the general election.
The latest ‘vote winning’ plan to move the homeless and the mentally ill out of the CBDs of our cities has some merit because they appear threatening and affect people going to shops or work in these areas.
But where do they go? No viable answer so far. And if they don’t move on, will the threat of a $2000 fine make any difference?
These people are begging for a few dollars, so your old mate reckons the chances of them paying a big fine are slim at best.
Let’s hope that the absurd doesn’t become the norm for the next nine months and that more practical policies are outlined.
Wishful thinking? Probably!
