Greens adopt One Nation policy on agricultural imports.

One Nation would like to congratulate the Greens on their sudden and new found support of Australian agricultural interests. The Greens plan for food security for Australia put forward today by Senator Milne on the ABC website is a refreshing change from other Greens policy such as the controversial SEPP 46 legislation and later the Native Vegetation Conservation Act.
Senator Milne’s statement “Few are concerned about land being bought by overseas interests, about farmers being driven from the land by low farm gate prices and trade rules which discriminate against Australian growers" is exactly what One Nation has been saying for years. She also says
"In Australia, [Communist] Chinese interests are looking at buying dairy farms in Tasmania and controlling interests in sugar mills in Queensland. It is impossible to find out how many hectares of
Australian farm land have already been bought because the Foreign Investment Review Board does not keep track. How can we plan for food security if we do not even collect relevant information?"

One can only hope this common sense and practical view of Australian agriculture continues as we need all the help we can get in fighting the Free trade and globalist policies of Labor and Liberal.
One Nation would also like to ask the greens that now they support Australian agriculture, Will they call off their preference deal with Labor, due to Labors recent support of imported beef and apples? This would be a great way to show Australian farmers they are sincere in this statement and that it is not all hot air to win a few votes.
