Federated Farmers Welcomes $79M Wilding Pine Control Funding Boost
Federated Farmers says the Government's announcement of $79 million in funding for wilding pine control marks a major breakthrough.
ACT MP Mark Cameron obtained special permission from the Speaker, Gerry Brownlee, for rural MPs to do this.
Cameron says it’s a show of solidarity with farmers and the rural sector, and an acknowledgement of the pressures on the sector.
“This includes from laws and regulations originating in our Parliament,” he says.
Cameron hopes to make this an annual tradition.
