20.01.2022 This is something I’ve been mulling over sharing because it could be seen as being controversial, but I also wholeheartedly feel like it’s so vital right now to... just say this because this is a message that has been impossible to make the rest of our nation understand for so long... If you’ve currently lost your job because of an occurrence out of your control, can you survive a month, two or even six without Government help? Let’s say hypothetically you knew an occurrence like this could happen once every 100 years, would you still be financially prepared to survive a year, two or even three years without income and no financial assistance? If what is currently happening went on for eight years and there was limited Government assistance to supplement the income you were not making, could you still afford to put food on the table and not have the banks take everything you own? My guess would be very few people could. But, unfortunately, this was the harsh reality for many of our farmers who have only just come out of drought. The financial challenges many of us are going through now is similar to what many rural communities have faced for many years, but without immediate, adequate and no strings attached Government financial assistance. And if any, all was simply a loan, not a tax-free handout and came with huge time delays and asset assessment. After all this, I hope we never criticise the people who feed us for supposedly being ill-prepared for natural disasters that effected them not for months, but for years. I hope we never dismiss our Primary Producers for needing help when the circumstances they face are completely out of their control, much like we currently face. May we be understanding, reasonable and compassionate and give adequate support to those who feed us when they are doing it tough. And may we all be so grateful for the food on our tables tonight that the people who have kept going despite adversity and struggles for years still get up every single day to ensure each one of us, right now, has enough to eat.
