25.01.2022 We're huge advocates of National Farm Safety Week which aims to raise awareness of farm safety issues in rural communities across Australia. This year’s theme is Farming for a Future and will focus on risk assessment and awareness, planning and mitigation, particularly in light of a year of drought, bushfire, floods and COVID-19. #whenthegoinggetstough #saferfarms #farmsafeaustralia #farmsafetyweek #australianagriculture

22.01.2022 What do we lose as our newspapers vanish? Our MD Robbie Sefton notes that without a newspaper, these is no shared record and no scrutiny of community affairs. When we pick up the newspaper for a casual scan we get a sense of what’s happening in the region: the wins, the losses, births, deaths and scandals. We must hope that throughout our own regional communities, newspapers will find a way to survive.

17.01.2022 Could COVID-19 inspire new thinking on issues Australia has been grappling with for decades? Our MD Robbie Sefton considers the benefits of applying the bi-partisan approach our politicians have deployed in their handling of the current pandemic to long-term debates around the likes of the Murray-Darling Basin and land clearing. Does it really need to be ‘winner takes all’ or could the compromise and collaboration we’ve seen come to the fore in recent months offer a new way forward for our nation?

14.01.2022 Our MD Robbie Sefton made an appearance on ABC’s The Drum, to represent and provide insight from rural Australia on pressing topics such as how we are dealing with the fallout of COVID19 in regards to visiting rural areas and government recommendations & restrictions; the pressures and challenges rural students are facing; and the risk to rural industries whom are reliant on casual workers - often backpackers or migrant workers.

A big problem.

10.01.2022 We built infrastructure for the 19th and 20th centuries, and now we need to build it for the 21st Century. Our MD Robbie Sefton touches on how we need to ensure that the project really is going to serve the nation’s interest for decades, if not centuries.
