To be attributed to Victorian Farmers Federation President, Ryan Milgate:
“Four months out from the Victorian election, this opportunity to reset the relationship with farmers and regional Victoria can’t be missed.”
“Our roads are a disgrace, the flawed fire services tax must be axed forever and generational farming families still feel like collateral damage in the fierce competition for farmland. These much-needed fresh faces must fix these issues to regain the trust of the bush.”
“We look forward to working with all Ministers, particularly Minister Symes with her energy and environment portfolio, Minister Hamer on roads, the new Treasurer on fixing the ESVF and Minister Settle as she adds water to her existing agriculture portfolio.”
“I look forward to meeting with this new lineup of decision makers to share our members’ priorities.”
