Warrie (NSW)......
What can I say....... some have a very good understanding of business and economics.... and other don't.
Why have farmers lost there power..... because the government has allowed a handful of large monopolising extremely big profit driven powerful companies the right to do what they want, when they want and how they want...... and the current government is to scared to stand up to them.
And a majority of tight #$% Australian would sooner spend less on lower quality products and produce then help struggling businesses.
And as for unions.......large monopolising extremely big profit driven powerful organisations!
Point 2...... yes everyone has a right to a holiday and it should not be no concern to you, being broke and having it tough are 2 different things..... yes business is doing it tough but still making money, your comments are a typical employee comment..... boss can't give me a $2 per hour pay rise but he can afford a new car!
What you don't see is the overheads business owners have to carry, farmers are no different, he has to pay for feed, stock upkeep, property maintenance, workers pay and entitlements, land taxes and fees, environmental fees, the carbon tax soon, transport costs and many more things AND make a small living to support his family.... if the price of feed goes up, transport costs increase or stock prices fall then he is in the poooohhhh...... what might of been a good year all of a sudden has turned into a bad year and the cash savings he has get used.
Farming in Australia is in dire straits at this present time and if we are not careful we will all be left scratching our heads wondering what the hell happened.
People are funny things..... they want a good life style, high pay, low cost of living...... but on the other hand they don't want to support what gives them this...... something has to give.
