In other news, farmers around the State are concerned about the proposed new Koala SEPP. This new piece of legislation has potential ramifications for routine farming operations and there is no ground trothing for the maps being used to identify koala habitats.
NSW Farmers has met with all relevant State Government Ministers to highlight the concerns for the farming community, advocate for changes to the SEPP and work on better measures to protect koalas.
COVID-19 restrictions have impacted us all and we are so fortunate to be in Australia as the restrictions have been effective and it is so pleasing to see many restrictions now being lifted gradually. Farmers welcome the various support packages provided to small businesses, communities and continued bushfire relief.
Stay safe and well everyone and support Australian produced food and where possible Australian made.
