It’s a big thing to say you’ll have nothing to do with a particular protest, particularly when it’s against actions taken under a previous government. But that’s exactly what I did with a protest involving farmers in Canberra yesterday.
The protest was organised by some farming groups against land clearing laws. These laws were passed at a state level more than a decade ago. Many of the farmers blame an agreement between the states and the Howard Government for the restrictions which were placed on them.
