Politics This can't be happening...

Russia and China have banned the export of fertiliser which will lead to world wide crop shortages. So I thought that Australia would be insulated from this as we are a major agricultural provider. Then I discovered that our only fertiliser plant located in Brisbane is closing its doors this year.

Canada and the USA are also major exporters of fertiliser. Where does Australia typically buy from?

This is a good time for countries and people to grow their own stuff. Certain plants will grow just about in any soil.
Fig trees for example.

Meh, if there is a demand than somebody will supply it.

Time to get your veggie plot / compost heap going.

Luckily Canberra is so full of s**t they will be able to meet all fertilizing needs.

13 major food processing plants in the USA have burnt to the ground in the last few months. Including 2 which caught fire after planes crashed into them. No body seems to know why. We all know that bad luck can strike at anytime. But two planes crashing and burning, what are the odds?

VERIFY: No, people are not setting food processing plants on fire intentionally in order to create a food shortage

Why would you think people are burning down food processing plants Tin foil hat stuff at its finest. It has more to do with ageing infrastructure and the use of highly inflammable cool room insulation, Something we need to address in Australia as well. You and your lackeys need to think before you mouth off.

Simple answer.
We stop exporting the raw materials and cow s**t to the these counties and greedily keep it all for ourselves.
The only people who will suffer from the above alleged fact will be MonSanto and the pollies who pocket graft from them. (Read Liberal party)
