22.01.2022 The poem that's gone viral after NSW farmer Joanna Collett posted it on the Prime Minister's facebook page: G’day Mr Morrison, I trust that you are fine, Sorry to be bothering you, but there’s something on my mind I listened to a bloke last week; he had a bit to say... You lot may have heard of him? He delivers all that hay? He spoke of countless hours and the distances they drive Feeding starving stock, to keep bush hopes alive They do not get assistance from your tax funded hat They do it on their own, all off their own bat I’m not politically minded and I don’t have any clout And I know you’ve done a tour, to learn about the drought But there’s just some burning questions, that have left us feeling beat Why did we fund a foreign land, to learn to cut up meat? And what about those soccer boys, who went and got all lost You pulled out all the bloody stops, plain just showing off You’ve bigger problems here at home, there’s drought up to our necks So what does your mob go and do ? Give them big fat cheques! Don’t they have a government to deal with all this stuff? Why should it be up to us, what’s with all your fuss? Should we not be reigning in and look after our own Have you never heard the phrase charity starts at home? I realise there’s many things, that need an allocation And I also can appreciate, complex trade relations I’m not sure if you realise, but if our stock all die, There won’t be any trade you see, your deals will all run dry As a rule we’re not a whinging lot, our requests are but a few Most of us who work the land, are tested, tried and true We respect that we are guardians, and sustain it for the kids But I often have to wonder, what future will it bring? I guess all that I’m wondering, is where’s the Aussie aid? Wrapped up in a swag of tape, only then to be repaid ! There’s Aussie blokes and chicks out there, putting you to shame Helping fellow Australians, in their time of pain I’m just a simple farmer, grazier, wife and mum And even though we’re feeding stock, we’re better off than some I’ve never had to shoot a cow, who could no longer stand But many have before me, and I pray, I’m not dealt that hand So will you take another look; admit that we’re in strife ? And do more than bloody empathise, before another farmer takes their life ? I’d like to think you’ll do what’s right and put Australia first And help your own damn country, before this drought gets any worse Joanna Collett Wee Waa NSW I would like everyone on my Facebook page to copy this and share it Everyday until something is done Charity starts at home!

07.01.2022 A property out of Cobar Inspecting a dam/tank that is no longer holding any water for this family! in my last communication with him he said they had had 9mls rain the other week, up to 54mls for the year only 310mls to go to make the average
05.01.2022 So little rain in the Cobar region of NSW. The farmers are desperately trying to keep their core breeding stock alive. On the Central Coast we have had in 1 month more than they have had all year! :(
05.01.2022 Well said!!! This is a world wide issue
04.01.2022 Preying for rain, a fulfilling 2019 & happiness to everyone! Xox
02.01.2022 Nothing but respect!
01.01.2022 Just lovely to think people are out there that actually care! Farmers in the Cobar district received letters from school children recently
