Australia without family farmers is not ‘viable’

Right now, as a consequence of political decisions, many thousands of family farmers across Australia face immediate ruin:

• 600-1200 family farmers in WA’s eastern wheat belt are under siege by the banks and both the state and federal governments, which are conspiring to starve the farmers of credit in order to force them off the land and/or privatise and sell their cooperative to foreign grain cartels.
