boggles my mind that anyone can approach stuff like this with the attitude of 'too bad, so sad'Ah ma dude. I agree but there is a much bigger emotional issue where it's a lifestyle. It's not like changing jobs from middle management public servant to a corporate middle manager. You have a heap more factors on terms of these farms have been generational, farmers are skilled in this trade. Personally I know the government is offering grants to change and diversify but it's not accounting for a lot of risk changing the farm and growing different crops (plus, how much do you grow? What do you grow? Can you grow it?
I don't think it's a scare campaign when it's pretty scary of what could happen if not phased out correctly and without help. This is coming from a dude who votes greens grew up in these community's, was vegetarian for a large part of my life and wanted live export to stop for years before even the 4 corners exposed everyone to it.
Again. I hope the liberals did get wiped out in those areas but it's not surprising they gained votes.
burning communities to the ground is not the way to implement these kinds of changes unless you're genuinely indifferent to suicide rates, bankruptcies, poverty etc amongst a lot of genuinely vulnerable people
