Tasmanian farmers want more for their produce --- News today
Unfortunately for us, when we finally say enough is enough, its too much for the audience . The public can't quite get what the fuss is about . "Don't you accept that the market rules supreme" .
Sorry we don't . Economic and ecology is a bit more complex than figures on a ledger . Otherwise why tax people to improve the environment?
No you rats may be convinced its dog eat dog in there, but out here we learn that cooperation is natures way and we cooperate, or go broke .
Sorry but we think the icecream from the quick fix of the last ten years is melting . You are buying your food from China - while you can still afford to .
Everyone is being exploited here buddy , including the earth . We locals aren't the problem ( neither are the newzealanders selling us their spuds at what is probably also below cost ) Its not bottom line mate ---its fair go mate !
The real problem is the new faith in the market -that idea thats its ok to exploit the last corner of every crop
( lucky the Jews don't take our economic "principles" too seriuosly or they would be scratching for ideas too )
Anyone who allows anyone in the world to sell the main resource at less than 2% of its final cost price has got to be doing OK . esp when their exploitation of primary industry is likely to encourage exploitation of natural resources. Bit more complex than the sweets served up by mere faith in the market . How much do we pay for the critical taste of cream in a sundae from those horrid moss minimisers, I wonder?
